PORTLAND -- Kurt Schrader will be the next representative for Oregon’s fifth congressional district, according to The Oregonian, which called the race Tuesday night.

The Oregonian has Schrader beating Mike Erickson (R-Lake Oswego) handily in the race. Erickson suffered from several scandals, including allegations that he paid for a former girlfriends’ abortion as well as misrepresented a trip to Cuba as a “humanitarian mission.” The latest polls had the Lake Oswego businessman down by over 20 points.

KGW has also called the race, showing that Schrader is winning with 57 percent of the vote, while Erickson has 36 percent, with 31 percent of precincts reporting.

Schrader will vacate his seat in the State Senate in order to take on the congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Darlene Hooley (D-West Linn).

Oregon’s congressional delegation will remain at four Democrats and one Republican.
