All five of Oregon's seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for re-election in 2020. These seats were currently represented by four Democrats and one Republican. In October 2019, incumbent Republican Representative Greg Walden of the 2nd district announced that he would not seek a twelfth term.[4] All of the other incumbent Representatives won in their respective districts, and Republican Cliff Bentz won in the 2nd district.[2]
