State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
Rutland-8 covers a small slice of Vermont's historically Republican Rutland County, yet its 2024 presidential result tipped Democratic by 2.5 points — a margin thin enough to make it a genuine swing target in state legislative contests.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 29.8 points in 1964 and a Republican high of 59.0 points in 1896. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 4.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 6.1 points.
A population of 4,625, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $70,240 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Rutland-10 State House District and Rutland-9 State House District.
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.
