This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 98.82.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:31, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 98.82.162.124.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gregory Paul Walden''' (born January 10, 1957) is an American politician who served as the [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. representative]] for {{ushr|OR|2}} from 1999 to 2021. He is a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]. Walden is the son of three-term Oregon State Representative [[Paul E.

==Early life, education, and career==
Walden was born in [[The Dalles, Oregon]], the son of Elizabeth (née McEwen) and [[Paul Ernest Walden]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/reps/walden.htm|title=RootsWeb.com Home Page|website=freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com|access-date=January 31, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202043641/http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/reps/walden.htm|archive-date=February 2, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> He earned a [[Bachelor of Science]] degree at the [[University of Oregon]] in 1981.<ref name=CQRollGuide>{{cite news|title=Guide to the New Congress |date=November 4, 2010 |url=http://innovation.cq.com/newmember/2010elexnguide.pdf |work=[[Roll Call|CQ Roll Call]] |access-date=November 24, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708200600/http://innovation.cq.com/newmember/2010elexnguide.pdf |archive-date=July 8, 2011 }}</ref> Before being elected to Congress, Walden owned and ran radio stations.

== Political career ==
Walden served as press secretary and chief of staff to Congressman [[Denny Smith]] from 1981 to 1987. He was elected to the [[Oregon House of Representatives]] in 1988 and served in the House until 1995, when he was appointed to the [[Oregon State Senate]] to fill a vacancy that opened up when [[Wes Cooley (politician)|Wes Cooley]] was elected to the U. S. House. Walden rose to the position of assistant majority leader in the Senate and was considering a bid for Oregon Governor in 1994. But upon discovering that the son he and his wife were expecting had a heart defect, Walden decided to not run for governor or seek reelection to the state senate. Their son died soon after birth.<ref>{{cite news

Walden was tapped as campaign manager for Cooley's reelection bid, but after Cooley was caught in several lies about his military service, Walden was one of many Republicans who called on Cooley to drop out of the race. Walden went as far as to announce he was running for the 2nd District seat as an independent. But he served as the Oregon chairman of [[Bob Dole]]'s presidential campaign, and touted his "strong Republican credentials", implying that he would serve as a Republican if elected. Walden's candidacy led to fears that the Democrats could take advantage of a split in the Republican vote and take a seat they hadn't held since 1981.<ref name=toner>{{cite news

Smith did not run for reelection in 1998. Walden easily won the Republican primary and the November general election. His district contains some liberal-leaning communities such as [[Ashland, Oregon|Ashland]] and his hometown, Hood River, but most of it leans heavily Republican, and Walden has been reelected ten times without serious difficulty, never receiving less than 60% of the vote except in 2018, when he received 56%. In 2002, he defeated [[Democratic Party of Oregon|Democrat]] [[Peter J. Buckley|Peter Buckley]], who later became a member of the Oregon House of Representatives. In [[United States House of Representatives elections in Oregon, 2006|2006]], Walden defeated Democratic nominee [[Carol Voisin]], and in [[United States House of Representatives elections in Oregon, 2008|2008]] he won a sixth term with 70% of the vote over Democrat Noah Lemas and [[Pacific Green Party|Pacific Green]] Tristin Mock. After Senator [[Gordon Smith (politician)|Gordon Smith]]'s defeat in the 2008 elections, Walden became the only Republican representing Oregon in Congress.

On October 28, 2019, Walden announced that he would not run for reelection. He disagreed with President [[Donald Trump]] over Trump's attempts to finance his [[Mexico–United States barrier|border wall project]] and backed sanctioning Russia despite Trump's resistance. He voted to end the 35-day government shutdown and spoke up about the [[global warming]] crisis, but supported Trump in the [[Trump–Ukraine scandal|Ukraine quid pro quo scandal]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Greg Walden to retire in latest sign of GOP doubts about retaking House|url=https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/28/oregon-republican-greg-walden-to-retire-059814|last1=Bresnahan|first1=John|last2=Zanona|first2=Melanie|date=October 28, 2019|website=[[Politico]]|access-date=October 29, 2019|last3=Mutnick|first3=Ally}}</ref>

==U.S. House of Representatives==

===Party leadership===
House Speaker [[John Boehner]] chose Walden to be chairman of the House Majority Transition Committee. He served as chairman of the House Republican leadership through most of 2010.<ref>[http://www.whorunsgov.com/politerati/revolving-door/meet-the-gop-transition-leader-greg-walden/ Meet the GOP transition leader: Greg Walden] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110302165428/http://www.whorunsgov.com/politerati/revolving-door/meet-the-gop-transition-leader-greg-walden/ |date=March 2, 2011 }}, WhoRunsGov.com, November 8, 2010</ref>

After the 2012 elections, Walden became chair of the [[National Republican Congressional Committee]]. In July 2014, he announced he would seek a second term as chair, arguing he would help provide continuity in a changing leadership team after the defeat of [[House Majority Leader]] [[Eric Cantor]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Livingston|first1=Abby|title=Greg Walden to Seek Second Term Running NRCC (Updated)|url=http://atr.rollcall.com/elections-2014-nrcc-greg-walden-second-term/?dcz=emailalert|website=www.rollcall.com|publisher=Roll Call|access-date=July 30, 2014}}</ref> He served a second term, the traditional limit for holders of the office, ending in 2016.

** [[United States House Energy Subcommittee on Energy and Power|Subcommittee on Energy and Power]]

From 2010 to 2011, Walden gave up his seat on the Committee on Energy and Commerce at Republican leadership's request so that [[Parker Griffith]], who had recently switched parties, could take his spot.<ref name="nrccroll">{{cite web | title = Walden Rises Up From Obscurity | work = [[Roll Call]] | publisher = [[National Republican Congressional Committee]] | date = March 8, 2010 | url = http://www.nrcc.org/news/Read.aspx?ID=1565 | access-date = April 9, 2010 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100320140531/http://www.nrcc.org/news/Read.aspx?ID=1565 | archive-date = March 20, 2010 | df = mdy-all }}</ref>

The following is an incomplete list of legislation Walden has introduced into the House of Representatives.

=== Malheur Wildlife Refuge ===
Walden, whose district office includes the [[Malheur National Wildlife Refuge]], said that although one militant was killed and another wounded in the armed occupation of the refuge, "We can all be grateful that today has ended peacefully, and that this situation is finally over. Now, life in Harney County can begin to return to normal and the community can begin the long process of healing." He complained about allegedly poor federal forest and land management policies during the occupation, and said he would like to see changes to those policies: "We need to foster a more cooperative spirit between the federal agencies and the people who call areas like Harney County home."<ref name=PoliticianReactions-01>{{cite news |last=Mapes |first=Jeff |date=February 16, 2016 |orig-year=1st pub.
