Election date
November 3, 2026 · General election
This seat represents District 1, not the whole district above. We can’t match an address to an area this small, so this race may not be on your ballot.
How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus the number of candidates.
Representation: High · 71 out of 100
This district is a small slice of its state, so each vote here carries much more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 317,419 people live here.
