Jamie McLeod-Skinner (born May 31, 1967) is an American attorney, engineer, and former political candidate who was the Democratic nominee for Oregon's 5th congressional district in the 2022 election.[3] In an upset, McLeod-Skinner defeated seven-term incumbent Blue Dog representative Kurt Schrader in the Democratic primary for Oregon's 5th,[4] in a race in which she was considered the more progressive candidate. She narrowly lost the general election to Republican former Happy Valley Mayor Lori Chavez-DeRemer.[5] She sought a rematch with Chavez-DeRemer in 2024 but lost in the Democratic primary to Janelle Bynum.
