As of Sept. 12th:
- Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR First District): Leaning NO
- Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR Second District): AGAINST - “Absent a direct threat to the United States or our allies and a clear goal and definition of victory, I must oppose using military force in Syria.”
- Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR Third District): UNDECIDED
- Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR Fourth District): AGAINST - “This situation is incredibly fluid, but I currently do not support an open-ended, ill-defined intervention in another civil war.”
- Rep. Curt Schrader (D-OR Fifth District): AGAINST - “...direct U.S. military involvement at this time is one of the worst of many bad options.”
- Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR): UNDECIDED
- Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR): UNDECIDED
