A 2012 special election in Oregon's 1st congressional district was held on January 31, 2012, to fill a seat in the U.S. Congress for Oregon's 1st congressional district, following the resignation of Representative David Wu. Primary elections were held on November 8, 2011, with the Democrats selecting state senator Suzanne Bonamici and the Republicans selecting businessman Rob Cornilles.[1][2]
Bonamici was declared the winner almost as soon as the ballot deadline expired at 8 pm PST.[3] She carried every county in the district except Yamhill County, which Cornilles won by a seven-point margin.[4]
