Representatives Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), Joyce Beatty (OH-03), Steve Stivers (OH-15), and Pat Tiberi (OH-12) today announced they have placed a friendly wager on the championship game between the Portland Timbers and Columbus Crew with local products and favorites on the line. Representatives Blumenauer and Bonamici, who together represent Portland, are wagering Oregon craft beer, Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, and Salt & Straw ice cream. Representatives Beatty, Stivers, and Tiberi, representing the Columbus metro area, are wagering Columbus craft brews and candy buckeyes. I look forward to seeing our Portland Timbers cap their magnificent season with the MLS Cup, said Representative Blumenauer. Onward Rose City! Last time an Ohio team faced off against an Oregon team for a national title our Buckeyes came home with NCAA championship rings and the Ducks waddled home empty handed, said Representative Beatty. The Timbers will topple the Columbus Crew! We've had a great season and Im looking forward to seeing the Timbers win the MLS Cup final match, said Representative Bonamici. Im confident the Oregonians will be enjoying some Ohio craft brews and buckeye candy. RCTID! In the battle of the Os, Ohio is no stranger to blocking Oregons championship dreams, Representative Stivers said. With home field advantage, the Crew is on a roll and more than ready to take its second MLS cup. The Crew SC will ax the Timbers and I look forward to enjoying some of Oregons microbrews with my Central Ohio colleagues as we celebrate the black and golds second MLS Cup, said Representative Tiberi. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
