State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
Oregon Senate District 5 covers a slice of the mid-Willamette Valley where population growth has gradually shifted the competitive landscape, with the 2024 presidential result landing at roughly ten points Democratic — close enough to draw serious attention in legislative cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 11.6 points in 2008 and a Republican high of 3.3 points in 2016. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 1.2 points toward the Democratic candidate; the 2024 margin was 2.9 points.
A population of 140,337, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $66,603 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 3 and State Senate District 11.
The state-senate districts whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
