How did Janelle Bynum flip Oregon's 5th Congressional District?
if democrats plan to take back the house of representatives they're going to have to flip seats so i think we should study the democrats in the house who have been able to actually flip seats to see what they've done and maybe that shows a road map why don't we just take a look for example at oregon's fifth congressional district and it's been in the news a lot lately because
It used to be held by a MAGA Republican Congresswoman, and that MAGA Republican Congresswoman, she'd like to pretend that she wasn't really MAGA. She liked to claim that she stood on the side of labor.
I was always very suspicious of that shtick, and someone who was very suspicious of it was someone who ran against her, now the Democratic Congresswoman from the Fifth, who flipped it, who called her out in the debates, Congresswoman Janelle Bynum, now a Democrat. after flipping that seat from Oregon's 5th Congressional District.
And you may know about that district also in the sense that Lori Chavez de Riemer, now the Labor Secretary, although she's not looking out for the interests of labor, was that MAGA Republican congresswoman pretending not to be MAGA in Oregon. She claimed to be on the side of labor. But do y'all remember we covered this
on the Midas Touch podcast before, the confirmation hearing where all of a sudden she said she's on the side of the oligarchy and she no longer supports the PRO Act. Remember this moment where Rand Paul, MAGA Republican Rand Paul, said the following to her. Let's play this clip.
So you no longer support the aspect of the PRO Act that would have overturned state right to work laws?
Yeah, there were so many parts.
That's a yes? Yes.
Yes, sir.
