Jamie McLeod-Skinner Will Not Seek Run For Congress In 2020

(Salem, OR)  --   The Democrat who challenged Republican Congressman Greg Walden for his seat in 2018 will not make another run for the U.S. House.  Jamie McLeod-Skinner says she will continue to focus on her campaign for secretary of state.  Many assumed McLeod-Skinner would shift gears to run for the Second Congressional District after she lost the 2018 race by 16 points, giving Walden the closest call he had ever seen in the traditionally Republican area.  Republican State Senator Cliff Bentz has already declared his intent to run for the seat, but so far, no Democrats have stepped into the race.
