Oregon's 16th Senate District as of September 27, 2021

District 16 of the Oregon State Senate comprises all of Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook counties as well as western portions of Multnomah and Washington counties and a small sliver of northern Yamhill County.[1] It consists of Oregon House districts 31 and 32. It is currently represented by Republican Suzanne Weber.

Election results

District boundaries have changed over time. Therefore, senators before 2013 may not represent the same constituency as today. From 1993 until 2003, the district covered parts of the Salem metropolitan area; from 2003 until 2013, it shifted to cover northwest Oregon, including all of Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook counties, western Washington County, and northwestern Multnomah County; and from 2013 until 2023, it lost the southern half of Tillamook County while gaining parts of Bethany.

The current district is very similar to the previous iteration, losing parts of northwest Portland south of Sauvie Island and all of Bethany while gaining North Plains and a small sliver of Yamhill County near Gaston and regaining all of Tillamook County.
