Maxine Dexter beats Jayapal's sister in Democratic primary for Oregon House seat 

Oregon state Rep. Maxine Dexter (D) is projected to beat the sister of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) in the Democratic primary for Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). 

Dexter, who’s also a doctor, beat Susheela Jayapal, the sister of the Washington Democrat and former Multnomah County commissioner, and six other Democrats for outgoing Rep. Earl Blumenauer’s (D-Ore.) seat. Blumenauer announced in October he would not be seeking reelection for his Portland-area seat.
