Texas's 1st congressional district, Congressional district in northeastern Texas, United States
This congressional district spans three metropolitan areas in East Texas: Texarkana, Longview-Marshall, and Tyler, with substantial farmland between them. The landscape consists mostly of flat to gently rolling terrain with forests, fields, and small towns scattered throughout the region.
The district was altered in 2003 when boundary changes moved Texarkana to the 4th district, but Texarkana returned to the 1st district in 2021. This shift reflected changes in population and political representation for the region.
The region is shaped by rural traditions visible in county fairs, local festivals, and community gatherings that celebrate the farming heritage of East Texas.
If you live in this area, you can contact your representative Nathaniel Moran through his Washington office or local offices in Texas. The best time to reach out is during office hours offered at the local locations throughout the district.
The district stands out for its strong conservative voting pattern, which makes it the most Republican-leaning area in Texas. This political character shapes how residents engage with elections and local issues.
