State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
With a 2024 presidential margin of R+51.9, this south-central West Virginia district reflects the state's broad shift toward lopsided Republican margins over the past decade, leaving Democrats with little recent competitive foothold.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 56.3 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 4.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 56.3 points.
A population of 100,341, a 95% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $53,087 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State Senate District 31 and State Senate District 6.
