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, the southeastern portions of Deschutes and Douglas counties, and small, unincorporated portions of Clackamas and Marion counties.[1]

With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+14, it is the sole reliably Republican district in Oregon.[2] It has been in Republican hands since 1981.[3]
