Georgia
Georgia is likely to maintain its current level of women’s representation in the U.S. House, with all three (2D, 1R) incumbent women favored to win re-election and all non-incumbent women nominees running in general election contests where their opponents are strongly favored.
Idaho & Kentucky
Idaho and Kentucky are likely to remain states that have no women representing them in the U.S. Congress.
Oregon
State Senator Elizabeth Steiner (D) won the Democratic nomination in the open-seat contest for Oregon treasurer. If successful in November, she would be the first woman to serve in that office.
Women are two-thirds of all U.S. House nominees in Oregon, and three of six U.S. House general election contests will pit woman versus woman.
Women are all but assured to maintain their current level of representation (four seats) in Oregon’s six-member U.S. House delegation, and they could see an increase of one. Incumbent Suzanne Bonamici (D) is favored to win re-election, and women will win seats in Oregon’s all-woman U.S. House contests in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Congressional Districts. Incumbent Andrea Salinas (D) will seek re-election in a general election contest in Oregon’s 6th Congressional District that is currently rated as “Lean Democrat” by Cook Political Report.
Oregon will elect a new woman to the U.S. House in Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District, where state Representative Maxine Dexter (D) is favored in an all-woman, open-seat contest against Joanna Harbour (R).
In Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, incumbent Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R) will be challenged by Janelle Bynum (D) in an all-woman contest currently rated as a “Toss Up” by Cook Political Report. If successful, Bynum will be the first Black woman to represent Oregon in Congress.
