District 2 of the Oregon State Senate comprises all of Josephine County as well as southern Douglas County and northwestern Jackson County. It is composed of Oregon House districts 3 and 4. It is currently represented by Republican Art Robinson of Cave Junction.
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 part of the central Oregon Coast and Yamhill County; from 2003 through 2013, the district shifted to cover most of Josephine and western Jackson counties; and from 2013 through 2023, it shrunk to only cover the areas surrounding Cave Junction, Central Point, Grants Pass, and White City.
The current district is similar to its previous iterations, losing White City but regaining all of Josephine County and adding most of northwestern Jackson County as well as southern Douglas County around Canyonville and Riddle.
