Oregon Citizenship Test Preparation (2026)
The USCIS civics test uses the same 128-question pool everywhere, but three answers depend on where you live. If you live in Oregon, here is what you need to know.
Officials verified September 2026.
Governor, U.S. Senators & Capital
- Governor
- Tina Kotek
- U.S. Senators
- Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley
You only need to name ONE of them on the test. - Capital
- Salem
U.S. Representative
Your U.S. Representative depends on your home address in Oregon. Do not use a statewide representative. Look up your exact Representative by zip code at house.gov.
Practice saying:
- The Governor of Oregon is Tina Kotek.
- Oregon's two U.S. Senators are Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.
- The capital of Oregon is Salem.
