Oregon gets sixth congressional district
By GARY A. WARNER
Oregon Capital Bureau
SALEM — Oregon
will have a sixth congres-
sional seat up for grabs in
2022 under the once-a-de-
cade shuffl ing of Congress,
the U.S. Census announced
Monday, April 26.
Where in Oregon the new
seat will be located won’t be
known until autumn.
The additional seat also
gives Oregon an additional
Electoral College vote,
which is based on House
seats plus U.S. Senate seats.
Oregon will have eight votes
for choosing the president in
the 2024 election.
Oregon will also receive
several billion dollars more
in federal aid for medical ser-
vices, schools and aff ordable
housing that is based on a
formula using the number of
House districts to determine
each state’s share.
Gov. Kate Brown said
the strong turnout in Ore-
gon to answer the census
ensured that Oregon’s voice
will be amplifi ed in federal
decisions.
Brown released a state-
ment praising the “great
news” of the additional seat.
“Thanks to everyone who
participated in the 2020 Cen-
sus to make sure you were
counted,” Brown said.
Oregon’s new seat was in
apportionment, the reassign-
ment of the 435 congressio-
nal seats after each census.
The census reports Ore-
gon’s 2020 population is just
under 4.24 million, up from
3.83 million in 2010.
Oregon’s 10.6% increase
was well above the national
population growth of 7.4%,
the slowest rate since the
1940 Census that came after
the Great Depression.
Bend had the largest pop-
ulation growth in Oregon —
about 25% — over the past
decade.
The other largest concen-
tration of growth was the
ring of suburbs around Port-
land, with Gresham, Trout-
dale, Sandy, Estacada, Bea-
verton, Tigard, Newberg and
St. Helens all posting strong
growth.
The U.S. population in
2020 was just under 331.5
million.
Census offi cials said a
falling birthrate, slowing
immigration and deaths of
an increasing number of the
large post-World War II baby
boom generation were the
reasons for the tepid growth.
The 6th Congressional
District is the fi rst new seat
for Oregon since the 1980
Census.
Five other states received
additional seats. Texas gets
two more seats. Colorado,
Florida, Montana, North Car-
olina each received one.
California lost a seat for
the fi rst time in state history.
It will still have the largest
delegation, with 52 seats.
Also losing a seat were
New York, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
In an announcement that
has political leaders promis-
ing to take action against the
count, New York fell just 89
people short of keeping all its
seats.
Democrats currently hold
a 218-212 majority in the
House. Five seats are vacant.
Oregon currently has four
Democrats and one Repub-
lican in its House delegation.
Each U.S. House member
EO Media Group, File
Oregon will add a sixth congressional district ahead of the 2022 election, the U.S. Census
announced Monday, April 26, 2021, though the location of it is still to be determined.
will now represent 761,169
people, up about 50,000 peo-
ple from 2010. Numbers in
each district can vary slightly.
Still to come is divid-
ing up the districts within
each state. Oregon currently
has four Democrats and one
Republican in the House.
Oregon is among 33 states
where the legislature controls
all or most of the process.
Eight states — including
California and Washington
— use independent commis-
sions to draw the maps. Two
do a mix.
The disruption of the cen-
sus count amid the COVID-
19 pandemic has disrupted
redistricting in most states.
The count also was whip-
sawed by demands from
then-President
Donald
Trump, who wanted to add
a question of citizenship to
the survey, but was eventu-
ally blocked by court rulings.
Trump also sought to end the
census early.
Earlier forecasts had
Texas receiving three new
seats and Florida getting
two. Each received one less.
Both states have large His-
panic populations and the
smaller-than-expected addi-
tional seats for the two states
has activists questioning if
Trump’s actions had sup-
pressed the count of Span-
ish-speaking populations.
“I assured the president
that the census is complete
and accurate,” said Gina Rai-
mondo, the U.S. Secretary of
Commerce, at a news confer-
ence on Monday afternoon.
In Oregon, the timelines
for the Legislature to receive
census data needed to draw
congressional and legislative
lines that meet civil rights and
voting rights requirements
has shifted from April 1 to
late August or September.
The delay means the state
will blow past most of the
established deadlines for cre-
ating and approving legisla-
tive and congressional maps.
The Oregon Supreme
Court ruled April 9 that the
Legislature will have until
Sept. 27 to submit maps for
the state House and Senate
seats, as well as congressio-
nal districts.
If lawmakers cannot agree
on new districts, legislative
districts would be drawn by
Secretary of State Shemia
Fagan, while congressional
seats would be determined
by a special judicial panel.
The deadline under that
scenario is Oct. 18 to com-
plete maps. With legal chal-
lenges, the Oregon Supreme
Court has set Feb. 7 as the lat-
est date for maps to be fi nal-
ized. That leaves one month
until the March 8 deadline
for candidates to fi le for the
May 17, 2022, primary.
If Fagan’s or the judges’
maps are found wanting
under legal review, the Ore-
gon Supreme Court would
draw the lines.
The state House and Sen-
ate each have a redistricting
committee that will work on
the maps. But their makeup
is
currently
politically
asymmetrical.
Under a deal this month
to end a Republican slow-
down of legislation, House
Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Port-
land, named Minority Leader
Christine Drazan, R-Canby,
as a sixth member of the
House panel. The move gives
the Republicans parity on the
committee with Democrats.
Drazan said having an
equal vote on the committee
was crucial given the Demo-
crats’ political dominance of
all facets of the reapportion-
ment process.
“The legislature’s major-
ity, governor and secretary
of state are all Democrats,”
Drazan said. “More than
50% of the Oregon Supreme
Court has been appointed by
this governor. We are at high
risk of gerrymandering. They
have the power, but we’ll
be able to question how it is
done.”
Still up in the air is how
the House committee will
work with the Senate’s,
which has retained a 3-2
Democratic majority and has
Sen. Kathleen Taylor, D-Mil-
waukie, as chairwoman.
A constitutional quirk
allows congressional candi-
dates to skirt the residency
requirements of most politi-
cal offi ces.
The Constitution requires
that members of the House
be at least 25 years old, have
been a U.S. citizen for at
least seven years and live in
the state they represent, but
not the district they are run-
ning in.
The result has led to fre-
quent “district shopping” for
congressional districts across
the country, especially by
candidates who are squeezed
out of their seats under
reapportionment.
One name to take out
of the mix for Oregon’s
new congressional seat is
Brown’s, according to her
longtime political consul-
tant Thomas Wheatley. He
said Monday after the census
announcement that Brown is
not interested in running for
the seat.
“I don’t even see a crack,”
of interest from Brown,
Wheatley said. “She’s got a
lot on her plate as it is.”
