Oregon House District 7
Kori Rodley looks to be the winner of the Democratic primary race for the Oregon House of Representatives 7th district, which encompasses Springfield, early returns show.
Rodley had 58.2% of the votes, while Ky Fireside had 30.2%. KC Huffman had 9.9% of the votes.
News sites, including the New York Times, declared Rodley the winner.
Rodley told Lookout that while it was still early she was feeling good about the results.
“I just feel so grateful that I get to continue to work and fight and represent my neighbors in Springfield,” she said.
Rodley took in the early results at a Democratic Party of Lane County watch party at Claim 52 Brewing in Eugene.
“I have this fantastic team, and I got to see a lot of them tonight and thank folks,” she said. “It’s probably going to take me a couple of days to just digest how much work went into it, and we get a day or two off before we have to start again.”
Fireside gathered at their house with volunteers and supporters.
“It’s still early,” they told Lookout shortly before 9 p.m. “We’re celebrating either way, because we’ve had a good time.”
Rodley is a Springfield city councilor and works at Lane County Developmental Disabilities Services. She received donations from multiple political action committees, raising more than twice what Fireside, a progressive activist and archaeologist with the civil engineering firm Kleinfelder, raised. Huffman, an attorney at Bromley Newton Huffman in Eugene, did not fundraise.
Rodley will face Republican Adam Wilson, a wealth advisor at LPL Financial, who was uncontested in his primary, to succeed Rep. John Lively, a Democrat, who is retiring after 14 years in the Legislature.
