District 139 recorded a 47.7-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, placing it among the state's most reliably one-sided legislative seats. Its small population of roughly 39,000 reflects Missouri's rural district footprint.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 8.3 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 54.6 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 1.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 47.7 points.
A population of 38,745, a 88% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $85,823 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 140 and State House District 6.
The state-house districts whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
