With a 74-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, this district ranks among the most one-sided in the state. Its rural geography and homogeneous demographics leave little structural room for competitive general elections.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 80.5 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 1.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 74.0 points.
A population of 43,352, a 89% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $74,472 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 28 and State House District 35.
