2010 Midterm Elections (view source)
Revision as of 23:25, September 14, 2009
, 23:25, September 14, 2009→Notable House Races
Democrat Boren was reelected by three landslides in 2004, 2006, and 2008. Yet Oklahoma's 2nd district is a Republican stronghold. The National Republican Congressional Committee listed him as one of 70 targets for 2010. Boren is arguably the most [[conservative Democrat]] in Congress. He is [[pro-life]], a lifetime member of the [[National Rifle Association]], supports replacing the federal sales taxes with a [[flat tax]], and refused to endorse [[Barack Obama]] in the [[2008 Presidential Election]].

*'''Peter DeFazio (D) of Oregon's 4th congressional district:'''
Peter DeFazio faced no Republican challenger in 2008, resulting in an 82-percent victory over two third party candidates. Republicans insist 2010 will be different. They've recruited Sid Leiken, Mayor of Springfield, which borders Eugene, the district's largest city. DeFazio may run for Governor instead of reelection.
*'''Kurt Schrader (D) of Oregon's 5th congressional district:'''
Businessman Mike Erickson, whom Schrader defeated in 2008, is considering another House bid in 2010.
