Today, Willamette Week endorsed Janelle Bynum for Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, marking the latest high-profile endorsement for Bynum and the second Editorial Board endorsement in the past two weeks.
Bynum, writes Willamette Week, has “cemented a reputation as principled and effective,” having won bipartisan support to [aid] low-income families with tax credits, [cap] the cost of insulin, and [help] secure federal funding for Intel.”
The endorsement comes on the heels of a new poll showing Bynum’s lead in the Democratic primary race, demonstrating the growing chorus of support for Bynum across Oregon from the grassroots level to high-profile nods.

Willamette Week: WW’s May 2024 Endorsements: Congress

-
State Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Happy Valley) is a better choice. The 49-year-old co-owner of four Portland-area McDonald’s franchises, and an electrical engineer by training, has served four terms in the Legislature, where she’s cemented a reputation as principled and effective and chairs the House Committee on Economic Development. She won bipartisan support for a package of bills in 2021 that increases police accountability, transparency and reporting. She’s aided low-income families with tax credits, capped the cost of insulin, and helped secure federal funding for Intel.
-
The endorsements so far in this contest have been a landslide: Bynum has secured the support of current and former legislators, three governors, labor unions, and national political action committees like Emily’s List.
