Congressman Greg Walden is currently in his sixth term representing the people of Oregon's Second Congressional District. Walden began his public service in the Oregon State Legislature, serving in both the House and Senate and earning leadership posts in both. He was first elected to Congress in November 1998.

As a small business owner with his wife for nearly 22 years, Rep. Greg Walden brings solid private and public sector experience to his work in the Congress. He has made a name for himself in Washington, D.C. as an effective and hardworking legislator. He has a deep commitment to the diverse and beautiful Second District of Oregon, and addressing the issues that most concern its citizens, including creating sustainable new jobs and economic opportunities, promoting forest health, standing up for rural agriculture, increasing rural health care access, and fighting the scourge of meth and other illegal drugs.

His solid reputation afforded Greg key appointments to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and as the top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Greg took a temporary leave of absence from the Committee on Energy and Commerce Committee when he was appointed House Republican Leadership Chairman in February 2010. He will maintain his seniority on the committee during the temporary leave of absence.
