Money in this race
From FEC filings for 2025–26. Outside spending is money a group spends on its own about a candidate — TV and online ads, mail, canvassing. It is not a donation to the campaign, and the candidate does not control it. Supporting means it was spent to help that candidate win; Opposing means it was spent to defeat them, usually on attack ads. Groups report it within 24 or 48 hours as the election nears. Raised is the campaign's own fundraising, as of its latest quarterly report. Largest donors come from each outside spender's own FEC receipts, with each donor's share of its itemized receipts; donors under $100,000 are not named. People are shown with the employer and occupation they reported. A donor that is itself a political committee is shown with its own largest donors. Companies and nonprofits don't report their funders to the FEC, so the trail ends there, and the page says so.

Janelle Bynum only won her race in OR-05 by a hair in 2024. We’re talking 2.7% of the vote!
That’s an extremely narrow margin in an extremely competitive swing district.
Now National Republicans are hell-bent on flipping OR-05 back to red and replacing Janelle with a rubber stamp for Trump. They poured MILLIONS into this race in 2024, and they’re ready to spend whatever it takes to take her down this year.
We’re going to need serious grassroots momentum to fight back and defend this must-hold seat. So we’re asking: Will you chip in to help us defend OR-05 and rebuild our House majority?

Election Day is closer than ever, so we don’t have a second to lose.
It’s Democrat Janelle Bynum. If we defend my seat in OR-05, we put Democrats one step closer to retaking the House.
But if we lose, we could be handing Republicans another two years of total control in Washington.
We need to ensure we have the resources to finish this race strong and defend OR-05.
So I’m asking: Will you chip in $1, $5, or even $25 to help keep this seat blue and flip the House?

Please read this:
Oregon’s 5th District is the most flippable House seat in the state — and defending it is how we take back our majority.
Janelle Bynum only won by a handful of votes in 2024. Since then, we’ve lost 6,000 registered Democrats in our district. So our slim advantage just got even slimmer.
If we’re going to hold the line and do our part to flip the House, we need the help of this grassroots team.
Can we count on you to chip in $3 today and keep Janelle fighting for Oregonians in Congress?

Take it from me: Oregon is not the safe blue state people think it is.
I’m Janelle Bynum, and I represent Oregon’s 5th District in Congress — the most flippable House district in the state.
Last cycle, we flipped this seat from red to blue by an extremely narrow margin.
This year, I’m one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for reelection — and Oregon is home to some of the closest races up and down the ballot.
It’s going to take a truly grassroots effort to hold the line in this swing seat and bring home another win in Oregon. Can I count on your support?

Costs are rising, while Jannelle Bynum takes money from Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Wall Street. I’m Patti Adair, and I’ll put Oregon families first, bring costs down, and work for you.
Loaded Language: The phrase 'takes money from' paired with 'Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Wall Street' uses emotionally charged labels to suggest corruption rather than state specifics.
Card Stacking: Juxtaposing rising costs with the opponent's donations implies a causal link without evidence or context. Flagged: “Costs are rising, while Jannelle Bynum takes money from Big Pharma”.
Glittering Generalities: Vague, positive promises with no specifics about how they would be achieved. Flagged: “put Oregon families first, bring costs down, and work for you”.

This will only take about 30 seconds, I promise!
In 2024, we defied the odds and flipped this seat from red to blue by an extremely narrow margin.With control of the House on the line, that margin could be even slimmer this year as Republicans look to flip key seats like ours back to red.
We can’t let that happen.

An ad is on this page because its own "Paid for by" line is a campaign in this race; or it comes from a national Senate group and ran mostly in OR; or it ran mostly in OR and names a candidate — unless its sponsor is a campaign for some other office. Ads from outside groups appear alongside the campaigns' own.
Campaigns run one text as many separate ads. Identical text from the same sponsor is one card here, marked with its number of variants.
A technique is a specific rhetorical move in the wording, found by our model and explained in one line. It is not a claim that the ad is false.
Claims are checked when a reader asks: press "Check this ad's claims" on a card. Running a check and seeing its verdicts are part of Semblen Pro, because each check costs money to run; anyone can see which claims an ad makes. The ten ads with the most money behind them in each race are checked ahead of time.
Claim verdicts say what the cited sources say. A verdict that an ad is wrong or misleading is shown only when it cites an established fact-checker or an institutional record — Congress, a federal agency, a court — and its confidence is not low; a weaker one is not shown at all. Each verdict shows what it rests on and how confident it is. If we got one wrong, press Disagree: a verdict that readers dispute and no one defends comes down.
Video ads come from the campaigns' own YouTube channels; the transcript is analyzed. Meta ads are analyzed on their text; their video and images are not, yet.
