Jamie McLeod-Skinner (born May 31, 1967) is an American attorney, engineer, and politician who has run for office in Oregon on multiple occasions.

[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.

[9][10] From 2016 to 2017, McLeod-Skinner was the city manager of Phoenix, Oregon, where she was fired after four months by Mayor Chris Luz, supposedly due to complaints from several department heads, though she stated that the decision was politically motivated.

A political scientist took note of her run, as she had defeated Walden in Deschutes County though no candidate had come close before, with Carol Voisin outdoing all others, yet losing by almost 17,000 votes in 2006.

[19] In 2022, McLeod-Skinner challenged moderate Democrat Kurt Schrader, a six-term incumbent whose district boundaries were substantially reordered by redistricting, as Oregon gained a sixth seat due to its population increase.

[22] Democratic Party leadership organizations in four of the five counties within the district's new boundaries supported McLeod-Skinner, who was also endorsed by Senator Elizabeth Warren.

[21] Schrader received 2022 endorsements from President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,[23] and his campaign outspent McLeod-Skinner's by 10–1.

[24] McLeod-Skinner's win marked the first time an incumbent member of Oregon's congressional delegation had lost a primary in 42 years.
