Who is the U.S. Representative for the specified region?

The U.S. Representative for the specified region is Suzanne Bonamici. She has been serving as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives since she was first elected in 2012, representing Oregon's 1st congressional district. Her role in Congress includes legislating on a variety of issues that affect her constituents and the country, ensuring that their voices and needs are heard at the federal level.

The other choices represent individuals who hold or have held different positions. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden are both U.S. Senators from Oregon, which is a different role than that of a House Representative. Kate Brown is the Governor of Oregon, responsible for the state’s executive branch, and is not a member of the U.S. House of Representatives either. Understanding the distinctions between these roles is crucial for accurately identifying representatives and their responsibilities.
