Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.

The 2020 United States Senate election in Oregon will be held on November 3, 2020, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Oregon, concurrently with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Incumbent Democratic senator Jeff Merkley is running for reelection to a third term in office. Although this Senate seat is largely expected to be one of the safest for the Democrats, the race received national attention due to the Republican Party nominating Jo Rae Perkins.
