It is revealed in the season 7 opener of The West Wing that main character Will Bailey eventually gets elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, serving the people of the Oregon's 4th congressional district. In his service, he is a member of the Ways and Means Committee.
The district gained most of Josephine County from the 2nd district in the 2002 redistricting, but also lost most of the Grants Pass area to the second district.
