State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
With roughly 49,000 residents spread across a largely rural stretch of New Mexico, District 22 backed the 2024 Republican presidential ticket by about 10 points — a margin consistent with the area's ranching and small-town demographic profile.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 45.0 points in 2012. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 12.4 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 19.7 points.
A population of 49,066, a 19% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $55,466 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 30 and State Senate District 3.
The state-senate 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.
