State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
With a 2024 presidential margin of R+54.9, this sparsely populated district reflects the deep Republican lean of rural North Dakota, where statewide races rarely produce competitive margins at the legislative level.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 47.0 points in 2008. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 3.8 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 17.1 points.
A population of 17,344, a 24% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $62,684 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 22 and State Senate District 15.
