United States House of Representatives elections in Oregon, 2008

The United States House of Representatives elections in Oregon, 2008 were held on November 4, 2008, to determine who will represent the state of Oregon in the United States House of Representatives, coinciding with the presidential and senatorial elections. Representatives are elected for two-year terms those elected will be serving in the 111th Congress from January 3, 2009 until January 3, 2011.
Oregon has five seats in the House, apportioned according to the 2000 United States Census. Its 2007–2008 congressional delegation consisted of four Democrats and one Republican. This remains unchanged although ''CQ Politics'' had forecasted district 5 to be at some risk for the incumbent party earlier in the year.
A primary election for Democrats and Republicans was held on May 20. To be eligible for the primaries, candidates had to file for election by March 11.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Voting and Voter Registration )〕 Other parties had other procedures for nominating candidates.

Democratic incumbent David Wu has represented Oregon's 1st congressional district since 1998 and is the Democratic nominee in 2008, defeating Will Hobbs and Mark Welyczko in the primary. Hobbs, a political novice, earned some attention late in the race, by winning the endorsements of major newspapers ''The Oregonian'' and ''Willamette Week''. He won 16.7% of the vote to Wu's 78.0%.〔(Oregon Secretary of State unofficial election results ). Retrieved May 23, 2008.〕
