Rep. DeFazio represents Oregon's 4th district in the United States Congress and has been involved in transportation and aviation issues during all of his political career.

Congressman Peter DeFazio was first elected to the U.S. Congress in 1986 and is now the longest serving House member in Oregon's history. As the dean of the Oregon House delegation, he has developed a reputation as an independent, passionate and effective lawmaker.

In 2019, DeFazio was elected to the powerful position of Chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Coast Guard, highways and transit, water resources, railroads, aviation, and economic development.
