The 2026 Oregon Senate election will be held on November 3, 2026, alongside the other 2026 United States elections.[2] Voters will elect half the members of the Oregon Senate in the U.S. state of Oregon to serve a four-year term.[3]

Electoral system

The 15 members of the Senate up for election were elected from single-member districts via first-past-the-post voting for four-year terms.

Contested nominations of recognized major parties (Democratic and Republican) for each district are determined by a primary election on May 19, 2026.

Minor party candidates are nominated by petition. Write-in candidates must file a request with the Secretary of State's office for votes for them to be counted. Candidates for the state Senate in 2026 are required to file to run from September 11, 2025, to March 10, 2026.[4]

District 15

Incumbent Democrat Janeen Sollman ran for re-election. She lost renomination to educator Myrna Muñoz. Muñoz announced her campaign against Sollman, a moderate Democrat, in part to provide a progressive alternative.[11] She made opposition to AI data centers and ICE a major part of her platform.[11] Her campaign additionally drew support from organized labor and various advocacy groups.[12] The contest was described as a factional battle between the party's centrist and left wing factions.[13] Muñoz defeated Sollman by a six-point margin. She will face Republican Harold Hutchinson in the general election.
