Fifth District
District 5 stretches from the central coast through the state capital into southern suburbs of Portland and part of the summit of Mount Hood. It includes Lincoln County, Marion County, Polk County, Tillamook County, part of Benton County, the southern part of Clackamas County, and a small portion of Multnomah County near Mount Scott.
Following the 2010 census, the district boundaries were changed slightly to add part of Multnomah County near Mount Scott and northwestern Clackamas County (including most of the city of Milwaukie) from the 3rd district, and move southwestern Multnomah County to the 3rd district.
The district has been represented by Democrat Kurt Schrader since 2009.
