The Lane County Elections Office posted its final results of the May Primary election on Wednesday, June 10 – five days ahead of schedule, firming up clear victors and key runoffs in November.

• U.S. Representative – 4th District: Incumbent Val Hoyle is the clear winner among the Democrats, earning her nearly 77% (42,110 individual votes). She’ll face off with Republican favored candidates Monique DeSpain, who garnered 88% (28,698) of her voter block.
• Governor: Incumbent Tina Kotek took a majority lead with 85% (44,786) over nine of her Democratic opponents, none of whom cracked 3% support in Lane County. And while Lane County favored Ed Diehl by about 3% over Christine Drazen, Drazen won out over the 13 Republican opponents and took the state overall. She’ll face off against Kotek for the second time after losing to her by 4% in 2022.
• State Senator, 6th District: Lone Democrat Sierrah Williams will take on Republican opponent Jack Tibbetts, who beat out fellow Republicans Jami Kate (27%) and Nicole De Graff (6%) after winning 67% (6,605) of the vote.
• State Representative, 7th District: Democratic candidate and current Springfield City Council member will face off against lone Republican candidate Adam Wilson in November, after Rodley took home 58% (4,114) of the vote over Ky Fireside (30%) and KC Huffman (10%) on the Democratic ticket.
• State Representative, 12th District: Incumbent and lone Republican candidate Darin Harbick will face off against lone Democratic candidate Amber Smith in November.
• Lane County Commissioner – Springfield: This race saw an upset, after incumbent Dave Loveall lagged 11 points behind in the polls against current Springfield Mayor Sean VanGordon for his seat. VanGordon walked away with 52% (10,096), and Loveall conceded with 40% (9,525).
• Lane County Commissioner – East: There is no way around a runoff for incumbent Heather Buch and opponent Jake Pelroy, as neither candidate received more than 50% of the vote. Final results show Buch at 46.59% (11,735), trailing Pelroy, who has taken the lead at 48.34% (12,176). The two will continue to campaign through November, where they’ll face off one more time.
• Lane County definitively shot down the 20-373 Watersheds measure, rejecting the measure by 62% (61,611).
• South Lane rejected another attempt at a five-year levy for South Lane County Fire & Rescue by 60% (5,745). Meanwhile, Lane Fire Authority narrowly won 52% (4,968) of the vote for its five-year levy option.
