The district elected a member of the United States House of Representatives beginning with the 2022 elections.[4] There were originally sixteen candidates that entered in the race, more than for any other congressional seat in the state in 2022.[5][6]
On September 27, 2021, Oregon adopted a redistricting plan to be used in the 2022 elections onwards. That plan carved a new 6th congressional district out of parts of the former first and fifth districts.[7] The district had a PVI rating of D+4, as of October 2021.[8]
