I'm not really from Oregon, but from BC.
In Canada we get unicameral state legislatures, so we only send one representative to the state house. My legislative district is Burnaby North, containing the northwestern portion of the municipality of Burnaby, a inner suburb of Vancouver. The district borders Vancouver on its left side, being separated by Boundary Road. On the right side, the district borders Burnaby-Lougheed, a district containing the northeastern portion of the town. On the south side, the district borders Burnaby-Lougheed, a district containing the southern portion of the town.
The district is historically NDP leaning, but the conservative Liberal party incumbent Richard Lee has repeated held the district by close margins due to Green party splitting the progressive votes and Lee being of Chinese ethnicity and immigrated from Guangdong in a 37% Chinese area of which most of the Chinese voters are newly arrived apolitical and affluent immigrants.
