With a 2024 presidential margin of D+51.5, this district ranks among the most heavily Democratic in the state, likely anchored by dense urban or university-area precincts that consistently produce lopsided results.
The 2008 election was the turning point, when the Democratic candidate carried the district by twelve points. The 2024 margin was twenty-nine points, in line with the district's new direction.
The demographics suggest why. A population of 54,352, a 51% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $88,783 situate the district in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles.
