Will Bailey becomes a congressman for Oregon after The West Wing ends.
Joshua Malina’s Will Bailey joins the series in season 4 as a speechwriter recruited during the controversy surrounding Sam Seaborn’s congressional campaign. He later becomes chief of staff to Vice President Bob Russell and eventually serves as Russell’s campaign manager.
Will’s political path changes again when Matt Santos wins the presidential election. By the series finale’s future-jump scenes, Will is identified as a congressman from Oregon’s 4th congressional district. This is a fictional continuation of his career rather than a storyline depicting his election in detail.
The common mix-up is with other characters’ states: Santos is associated with Texas, Arnold Vinick with California, and Toby Ziegler’s ex-wife Andrea Wyatt is a congresswoman from Maryland. Will’s post-series office is Oregon.
