History
The border runs along the western boundary with New Mexico, and runs along county borders to include far reaching cities. The area is predominantly rural, with the exceptions of Abilene and Lubbock, and includes many state parks, ranches, and farms.
This is one of the most conservative districts in Texas and the nation. It has not supported a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. Republicans have held the seat since 1985. In the last four decades, a Democrat has only won 40 percent of the vote in this district twice, in 1984 and 2004.
Much of this region continued to elect conservative Democrats to local offices and the Texas Legislature well into the 1990s. Since the mid-1990s, however, Republicans have dominated every level of government, winning by 70 percent or more of the vote. By the turn of the millennium, there were virtually no elected Democrats left other than at the county level.
The district voted 77% for George W. Bush in 2004 and 71% for John McCain in 2008.
