Latest News
Deborah C. Brown is in the news as one of the Republicans running in Oregon’s May 19 primary for U.S. Senate, where she is part of a crowded field trying to win the chance to challenge Sen. Jeff Merkley. Recent coverage has focused more on the primary itself than on Brown specifically, with Oregon’s vote-by-mail process and ballot counting expected to stretch results over several days. Another recent report says AI-focused super PACs are spending heavily in 2026 races, including in Ohio and other states, but it does not say Brown is directly involved.
