INDIVISIBLE

NORTH COAST OREGON

INCO is a small but mighty all-volunteer organization.
Together we stand up for human rights and resist authoritarian overreach.
There is a place for everyone in this fight.

Nov. 3, 2026 · The morning after

WE DID THAT.

Democrats took the House. Democrats flipped the Senate. Oregon held the line. And the North Coast showed up.

We'll be honest with you: a lot of us weren't sure we'd get here. There were nights this year when we stood on corners holding signs in the rain and wondered if anybody was listening.

You were. You texted your cousin. You drove a neighbor to the drop box. You came to a meeting when you were exhausted. Some of us cried last night. Happy tears, finally.

This one is yours. Soak it in.

Oregon

Home held strong.

  • WonGov. Tina Kotek declared victory over Christine Drazan, leading about 52% to 45%.
  • WonSen. Jeff Merkley re-elected, roughly 57% to 41%.
  • WonRep. Suzanne Bonamici keeps our district, OR-1, by a wide margin.
  • LeadingAll six of Oregon's U.S. House incumbents are ahead, including Janelle Bynum in OR-5.

Right here on the North Coast

Clatsop came through.

  • LeadingHouse District 32: Cyrus Javadi ahead of Max Sherman, about 52% to 48%.
  • PassingMeasure 4-249: the Clatsop Care Center bond for a new skilled nursing facility, by nearly 2 to 1.
  • BehindSenate District 16: Rachel Armitage won Clatsop County but trails Courtney Bangs district-wide. Ballots are still being counted.

Now the real work starts

A win is a door. Not a finish line.

Majorities don't fix rent, healthcare, or wages on their own. People pushing on them do. The new Congress takes over January 3, and they need to hear from the North Coast early and often.

Tonight, celebrate. Tomorrow, bring someone new with you.

Results are unofficial as of the morning of Nov. 4, 2026. Clatsop County expects final updates by Nov. 25 and certification by Nov. 30. Sources: AP via Roll Call, CBS News and Al Jazeera; OPB; The Astorian. Check your ballot status at MyVote.

Any official drop box in Oregon works. Sign your envelope: no signature, no count. Signature problem? The county will contact you, and you have until 5 p.m., Nov. 24 to fix it.

If you see ICE at a drop box

Federal law bans armed federal agents wherever an election is held, and that includes drop boxes (18 U.S.C. §§ 592–593).

  • Stay calm and stay safe. Bring someone with you to drop off.
  • You have a First Amendment right to film agents in public. Keep back 8 feet and don’t obstruct.
  • Get badge numbers, agency, location, and time.
  • Report it: 866-OUR-VOTE and Oregon Elections, 1-866-673-8683.
  • If stopped: say “I want to remain silent” and “I want to speak with a lawyer.” Don’t sign anything.

Oregon is a sanctuary state. State and local police can’t be used to enforce federal immigration law.

Educational only, not legal advice. We are committed to nonviolent action. De-escalate and act lawfully at all times.

SOLIDARITY ALERT · OCTOBER 2026

Federal agents raided Ilhan Omar's home.

We stand with her.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, official congressional portrait

Weeks before the midterms, the federal government came for a sitting member of Congress who refuses to stay quiet. It follows years of racist attacks on Rep. Omar, and on Somali Americans and Minnesota.

If they can come for her, they can come for any of us who organize.

So we organize louder.

Indivisible North Coast Oregon stands with Rep. Omar and with Indivisible groups nationwide.

Background: Indivisible's 2022 statement on earlier attacks against Rep. Omar

Multiple American election stickers with red, white, and blue colors, one prominently displaying the word "VOTED".

Demonstrate for Democracy

If you’re feeling worn out by the daily barrage of corruption, false peace agreements and abasement of our capitol’s architecture, just to name a few of the regime’s assaults on us and our democracy, join a local Indivisible protest. Spend some time with other people as concerned as you are who are trying to fix things. There’s a demonstration going on near you.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
