Representative Greg Walden’s portrait as Energy and Commerce Committee chairman packs in details about Walden’s career and Oregon district. A gavel-print tie hints at Walden’s chairmanship. Two pictures-within-pictures highlight state landmarks: Mount Hood, in the painting hanging on the wall behind him, and his district’s Crater Lake, in the family photo on the desk. The book on the desk next to Walden, Ray Baum’s Act of 2018, points out one of his achievements on the committee. Named for Walden’s friend and staff director who died in 2018, the act “emphasizes the importance of sharing precise location information when calling 911.”
