    Candidate briefing

    Jeff Merkley is the junior U.S. senator from Oregon, first elected in 2008. Our Revolution and the Working Families Party have endorsed his 2026 reelection.

    Wikipedia records Merkley as a progressive Democrat and a consistent vote with the Senate’s left on labor, climate, and campaign-finance issues.

    Why Political Revolution supports him: he is the progressive Senate incumbent in Oregon, backed this cycle by Our Revolution and WFP.
