Val Hoyle is running for a third term representing Oregon’s 4th District in Congress, saying she hopes to be a part of a blue wave that will hold the Trump administration accountable.

Oregon State Sen. Cedric Hayden has been barred from seeking reelection after joining a legislative walkout two years ago. On May 19, Republican voters in Senate District 6 will choose their nominee to replace him.
