 No candidate filed to run for the Republican nomination. Lisa Fergala and Doyle Canning each received seven write-in votes. A coin toss in the Oregon Secretary of State's office determined the outcome. Canning won the coin toss but was barred from receiving the Republican nomination because she had already lost the Democratic primary. Canning was also a candidate for that seat's Democratic race. The outcome of the coin toss creates a vacancy and the Republican Party will select a new nominee.
