Oregon U.S. House District 5 2026: where the candidates stand on data centers
3 candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot, from the Oregon Secretary of State's list (opens in a new tab). The officeholder comes first, then the Republican and Democratic nominees together by last name, then everyone else by last name; in each group a candidate with a statement or vote on the record comes first (how the order works). Each has the same space. The list: Voters' Pamphlet, Oregon General Election November 3, 2026, Official Publication (Oregon Secretary of State, Elections Division), page 26 "List of Candidates & Measures"; the same page in each of the 19 county books VP_G26-Book1_web.pdf to VP_G26-Book19_web.pdf (the pamphlet's own words: 'This is a complete listing of federal and state candidates filed for the November 3, 2026, General Election, as prepared by the Secretary of State for counties covered in this pamphlet'; no list date is printed (the pamphlet says ballots are mailed beginning October 14)).
Labels are applied by the record's published rules: two readings of each statement, and a third that reads its source where the two differ. Every label sits beside its statement and its source, and any label can be challenged through Report a change, with the correction logged on the corrections page.
