House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries rallies for Janelle Bynum in key Oregon race
In 2023, top congressional Democrat Hakeem Jeffries urged Oregon state Rep. Janelle Bynum to run for one of the country’s closest U.S. House races. On Wednesday, he stood side-by-side with Bynum at her campaign headquarters, telling reporters that a Democratic victory in Oregon’s 5th Congressional District is a way to stop an “extreme” Republican agenda.
