CLACKAMAS COUNTY Ore. (KPTV) – With Election Day just around the corner, Republican incumbent Lori Chavez-DeRemer and her Democratic rival Janelle Bynum made one last-ditch effort Saturday to sway voters.

Chavez-DeRemer joined local carpenters union members in Oregon City campaigning for her campaign.

While speaking to the union, Chavez-DeRemer focused on economic growth and union support.

“We’re creating jobs, we’re protecting the prevailing wage and we’re making sure we build here in Oregon,” Chavez-DeRemer said. “What we don’t want is for people to pack up and leave this state.”

Meanwhile, Bynum hosted his own prospecting event alongside Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici.

Speaking to volunteers, Bynum highlighted how much is at stake in the race.

“This election is about something very, very important,” Bynum said. “It’s about our lives, it’s about us having agency, it’s about us taking control of what we want our communities to be like.”

Having represented a politically mixed district in the state legislature for several years, Bynum is hopeful about his chances in a close race.

“This is my fifth pick,” Bynum said. “I have always represented a purple district and our focus remains on driving turnout and connecting with voters on the issues.”
