Elections in Oregon |

The 2022 United States Senate election in Oregon was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Oregon.[1] Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, who was first elected in a 1996 special election, ran for a fifth full term.[2] Jo Rae Perkins, who unsuccessfully ran for Oregon's other Senate seat in 2020, won the Republican primary with 33.3% of the vote.[3] The four candidates filing with the Oregon Secretary of State for this election included Chris Henry of the Oregon Progressive Party and Dan Pulju of the Pacific Green Party.[4]
Wyden ultimately won the election with 55.8% of the statewide vote. This was the first time since 1996 that none of the following counties went Democratic in a Senate Class III election: Gilliam, Jackson, Marion, Polk, Wasco, and Yamhill. It was also the first time Columbia County supported the Republican nominee in this seat since 1986.[5]
