As heir apparent in Oregons 3rd Congressional District, Maxine Dexter has more on her mind than campaigning
Some Oregon congressional races this fall could prove nail-bitingly close. The contest to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer is not one of them. Former state Rep. Maxine Dexter virtually punched her ticket to become the state\u2019s newest congresswoman by winning the Democratic primary in May. In Oregon\u2019s ultra-blue 3rd Congressional District, she faces no serious competition in the general election.
