PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Lake Oswego businessman Mike Erickson has defeated perennial contender Kevin Mannix in a race for an open congressional seat.

Erickson was defeating Mannix by a margin of 52.5 percent to 42.7 percent, with half of the total expected vote counted.

Erickson in November will face state Senator Kurt Schrader of Canby, who easily defeated several Democratic rivals for the chance to replace retiring U.S. Representative Darlene Hooley.
