Oregon's 6th congressional district is a congressional district created after the 2020 United States census. It consists of Polk and Yamhill Counties, in addition to portions of Marion, Clackamas, and Washington Counties.[2] It takes in all of urban Salem, as well as the southwestern suburbs of Portland.

The district elected a member of the United States House of Representatives beginning with the 2022 elections.[3] There were originally sixteen candidates that entered in the race, more than for any other congressional seat in the state in 2022.[4][5]

History

On September 27, 2021, Oregon adopted a redistricting plan to be used in the 2022 elections onwards. That plan carved a new 6th congressional district out of parts of the former first and fifth districts.[6] The district had a PVI rating of D+4, as of October 2021.[7]
