NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer Statement on the OR-04 Primary Election

WASHINGTON – NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer released the following statement regarding the results of the OR-04 primary election:

“Congratulations to Alek Skarlatos on his well-deserved primary victory. Peter DeFazio has lost his way in Washington and even co-sponsors legislation making private health insurance illegal for all Americans, including those with pre-existing conditions. DeFazio also signed on to legislation calling for a $93 trillion socialist takeover of the economy. These ideas are out of touch with Oregon, and it’s why he’ll be sent packing in November.”
