Oregon's 1st congressional district consists of the northwest corner of Oregon. It includes Clatsop, Columbia, Washington, and Yamhill counties, and southwest Portland, part of Multnomah County, which belonged to the 3rd district before the 2002 redistricting.
The district has been represented by Democrat David Wu since 1999. In the wake of accusations of sexual misconduct, Wu announced that he will resign following resolution of the 2011 US debt ceiling crisis.[1]
