# OR-05 — 2026 U.S. House Race (Tier 2) > [!info] Tier 2 light file > Condensed tracking page. Off Cook's competitive list as of Sept 25, 2026 — low priority. Suburban Portland-to-Bend seat held by freshman Democrat **Janelle Bynum**, who beat Republican incumbent Lori Chavez-DeRemer in 2024 by ~2.4 points. A 2024 Toss Up that has since drifted blue (per OPB), moving it to Likely Democratic and, by Cook's Sept 25, 2026 ratings, off the competitive list entirely (Solid D); Deschutes County Commissioner Patti Adair is a declared GOP challenger. **Ratings:** Cook **Solid Democratic** — the seat is not on Cook's Sept 25, 2026 competitive list. Previously: Cook **Likely Democratic** (was Toss Up in 2024). ## Outside-money log — FEC Form 24 notices ### Receipt date 2026-10-08 — $1,020,173.00 from [[Fairshake PAC]], all positive On e-file receipt date **2026-10-08** the crypto industry's [[Fairshake PAC]] (FEC committee **C00835959**) filed a single Form 24 notice — file **2018439**, an original (`F24N`) received at **16:08:07** — carrying **$6,115,866.36 across six House races**, every line **supporting** the candidate.
