The OR-3 contest

Jessica Salas, listed as NNE, is running for the U.S. House in Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The race is contested, with Salas facing Democratic incumbent Maxine Dexter.

The official candidate entries do not include a biography for either candidate. They also do not list documented policy positions for Salas or Dexter. The distinctions recorded for the two candidates are their party designations, Dexter’s status as the incumbent and their campaign finance totals.

Incumbency means Dexter currently holds the office. It does not determine the result of the 2026 election. Salas and Dexter are both candidates in the same general election contest, which is scheduled for Nov. 3.

Jessica Salas

Salas is listed under the designation NNE. Salas is not the incumbent in the race. No candidate biography is on file, so the official entry does not identify Salas’ employment history, education, prior public service or other background information.

Salas also has no documented policy positions on file. That means there is no official record here of Salas’ stance on legislation or issues that could come before the U.S. House.

Campaign finance records list Salas with $13,924.76 in funds raised and $13,963.99 in funds spent. No cash-on-hand amount is on file. Fundraising and spending totals measure reported campaign financial activity; they do not state a candidate’s policy views or represent a vote count.

Maxine Dexter

Dexter is listed as a Democrat and the incumbent in Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District. No candidate biography is on file, so the official entry does not describe Dexter’s employment history, education, prior public service or other background information.

Dexter also has no documented policy positions on file. The candidate entry therefore does not identify Dexter’s stance on legislation or issues that could come before the U.S. House.

Campaign finance records list Dexter with $1,038,513.80 in funds raised and $887,313.58 in funds spent. No cash-on-hand amount is on file. As with Salas, those totals describe reported campaign financial activity rather than policy positions or electoral support.

What the official entries establish

The records identify two candidates in the contested OR-3 general election: Salas, listed as NNE, and Dexter, listed as a Democrat and the incumbent. Neither candidate has a biography, documented policy position or cash-on-hand figure on file.

The finance totals show different levels of reported fundraising and spending. Salas is listed with $13,924.76 raised and $13,963.99 spent, while Dexter is listed with $1,038,513.80 raised and $887,313.58 spent. Those figures should be read as separate measures: funds raised and funds spent are not the same category, and no cash-on-hand total is listed for either candidate.

Additional candidate filings could add biographical details, policy positions or updated financial information before voters cast ballots in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election.

What to watch

  • New campaign finance filings from either candidate
  • Whether candidate biographies or policy positions are added
  • Election notices ahead of the Nov. 3, 2026, general election
