Seven-term Oregon Congressman Kurt Schrader is all but certain to lose to fellow Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner in his primary re-election bid, The Oregonian/OregonLive has found, making this a rare case of a member of Congress being ousted by a member of his own party.

While tens of thousands of ballots in Schrader’s home turf of Clackamas County have yet to be counted, Schrader’s expected edge in those remaining results appears too small to offset McLeod-Skinner’s commanding lead in her Central Oregon stronghold.
