This is one of four Hispanic-majority districts in the state (the others are districts 13, 16 and 29). Since 2002, Democrat voter registration has slid three percentage points, Republicans have lost almost seven points and those not affiliated with either major party have picked up the entire 10-point difference. This district has the fewest number of registered Republicans in the state and the second smallest percentage of voters registered as Republicans. This district has the lowest per-capita income of any district in the state, the third-highest percentage of persons living in poverty and the third-smallest percentage of persons with military service. This is a reliably Democratic district, and it has sent only Democrats to the Legislature since 2002. Of the current district delegation, only one (Robert Meza) is Hispanic.
