Oregon Democrat Janelle Bynum, who sponsored a controversial criminal justice reform bill that would have restricted arrests and shifted funds away from law enforcement, has won a congressional primary. The bill was criticized by law enforcement and Republican officials, who argued that it would have made communities less safe. Bynum’s victory in the primary is seen as a sign of the growing influence of progressive policies in the state, and her race against Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer in November will be closely watched as Republicans attempt to hold their narrow majority in the House.
