Oregon's 2nd congressional district is the largest of Oregon's six districts, and is the seventh largest district in the nation. It is the second-largest congressional district in the nation that does not cover an entire state, and has been represented by Republican Cliff Bentz of Ontario since 2021. The district covers roughly two-thirds of the state, east of the Willamette Valley. It includes all of Baker, Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco, Wheeler counties, all but a small sliver of Jefferson County and the southeastern portions of Deschutes (excluding Bend and areas to its northwest) and Douglas Counties. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+15, it is the sole reliably Republican district in Oregon. It has been in Republican hands since 1981.

Major communities

Due to its large geographical area, the 2nd District contains many different communities which operate completely independently from one another socially and economically. Below is a list of the largest statistical areas in the 2nd District tracked by the United States Census Bureau.

Historical district boundaries

Prior to the 2000 United States census, most of Josephine County was part of the district. After the 2010 United States census, the district boundaries were changed slightly to move some parts of Grants Pass from the 2nd to the 4th district.
