Oregon's 1st congressional district

TheOregon's 1st congressional district is a congressional district  located in the U.S state of Oregon. The district stretches from Portland's western suburbs, to parts of the coast. The district has the cities of Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Tigard, which are in the Portland metropolitan area. The district is in the northwest corner of Oregon. It includes all of Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook Counties, and most of Washington County and a bit of southwest Multnomah County in Portland. It generally has most of Portland west of the Williamette River.

The district has been represented by Suzanne Bonamici since 2012, who won an election to replace David Wu, who resigned.

In the 1990s, it was a swing district, but after the 2000 United States Census, the district included parts of Democratic Portland, and it is now the second most Democratic district in Oregon, behind Oregon’s 3rd congressional district.
