Oregon's 3rd congressional district covers most of Multnomah County, including Gresham, Troutdale, and most of Portland east of the Willamette River (parts of Northwest and Southwest Portland lie in the 1st and 5th districts). It also includes the northeastern part of Clackamas County and all of Hood River County.
The district has been represented by Democrat Earl Blumenauer since a 1996 special election. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of D+22, it is the most Democratic district in Oregon and the third most Democratic district in the Pacific Northwest.[2]
