District 42 of the Oregon House of Representatives is one of 60 House legislative districts in the state of Oregon. As of 2021, the district is contained entirely within Multnomah County and includes much of inner southeast Portland, including the neighborhoods of Brooklyn, Buckman, Creston-Kenilworth, Hosford-Abernethy, Kerns, Laurelhurst, Richmond, and Sunnyside. The current representative for the district is Democrat Rob Nosse of Portland.[1] [2]
