Wu was a seven-term Democrat who resigned last year following a woman's accusation that he made an unwanted sexual advance.
Bonamici is a Democrat who defeated Republican business owner Rob Cornilles. She'll finish out Wu's term, which ends in January, and must be re-elected in November to stay in Congress.
Bonamici has said her first priorities will be setting up congressional offices and helping constituents resolve problems with the federal government.
