DeSpain Wins Republican Primary for Oregon House Seat (Correct)

Monique DeSpain won the Republican primary in Oregon’s 4th Congressional District, AP projected.

DeSpain, an Air Force veteran, had endorsements from House Speaker Mike Johnson and Representative Cliff Bentz, a Republican who represents another district in Oregon.

DeSpain will face one-term incumbent Democrat Val Hoyle in the general election. Hoyle won just over 50% of the vote in the 2022 general election and the GOP is looking to flip the seat.

(Corrects description of Representative Cliff Bentz in the second paragraph.)
