Oregon 4th District race features veteran Monique DeSpain challenging Rep. Val Hoyle

Oregon Campaign Watch reported that Monique DeSpain, a military veteran, is challenging incumbent Representative Val Hoyle in the 4th District congressional race. DeSpain stated, "I didn't spend 30 years in uniform because it was politically convenient. I served because the mission mattered," contrasting herself with Hoyle, whom she called a career politician.

DeSpain's campaign released a near-final social media post aimed at persuading voters to choose her over Hoyle, highlighting a choice between what she calls 'more failed leadership' from the incumbent or her own service background.
