Oregon's 1st congressional district consists of the northwest corner of Oregon. It includes Clatsop, Columbia, Washington, and Yamhill counties, and a portion of southwest Multnomah County in Portland.
The district has been represented by Democrat Suzanne Bonamici since 2012. Bonamici won a special election to replace David Wu, who resigned in the wake of accusations of sexual misconduct.

Following the 2000 United States Census, the district gained some of Multnomah County, which had previously been part of the 3rd district. After the 2010 United States Census, the district boundaries were changed to move Downtown Portland from the 1st to the 3rd district.
