Oregon's second district is made up of rural eastern Oregon and stretches into southern Oregon, including Bend, Klamath Falls, and Medford. This district is the most Republican district in Oregon with a PVI of R+11.
The incumbent, Republican Greg Walden of Hood River, was re-nominated in the May 2018 primary election. He has represented the district since 1999, and was re-elected with 72% of the vote in 2016. He has faced little serious opposition in recent years, but in 2018 has been heavily criticized by constituents for helping to write a bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.[8]
Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner of Terrebonne[9] won her party's nomination in May 2018.[8] She has criticized Walden for skipping public events and declining to take strong stands on behalf of his constituents.[9] Incumbent Walden agreed in July to debate McLeod-Skinner, but as of early September, no debate has been scheduled.[10]
As of November 2018, national handicappers consider the district "safe Republican."[8]
