U.S. House
Each row is a county-allocated estimate of U.S. House votes for this district — county returns apportioned onto its boundary, not precinct-counted. “Vote lead” is the estimated local lead here, not necessarily the winner of the full contest.
With a 2024 presidential margin exceeding 25 points, this district consistently produces lopsided statewide results, suggesting a heavily rural or exurban electorate where competitive general elections are rare and primary contests carry greater weight.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 97.2 points in 1916 and a Republican high of 51.1 points in 1892. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 3.3 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 37.8 points.
A population of 116,546, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $74,237 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 28 and State Senate District 30.
