District boundaries have changed over time, therefore, senators before 2013 may not represent the same constituency as today. From 1993 until 2003, the district covered parts of the Eugene metropolitan area, and from 2003 until 2013 it covered a slightly different area in the southern Portland metropolitan area. In 2012, local businessman Cliff Hutchison announced that he  would challenge incumbent Senator Rosenbaum. In 2016, three candidates ran to replace the retiring Senator Rosenbaum. Democratic State Representative Kathleen Taylor; Oregon Progressive Party candidate James Ofsink, a health analyst; and accountant Josh Howard running on the Libertarian ticket. Ofsink ran as a more progressive alternative to Taylor while Howard represented both Libertarians and Republicans in the district.
