Texas's 11th congressional district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The district is one of the most Republican districts in the  nation. Much of the territory now in the district began shaking off its Democratic roots far sooner  than the rest of Texas. For instance, Barry Goldwater did very well in much of this  area in 1964, and Midland itself last supported a Democrat for president in  1948. It was President George W. Bush's strongest district in the  entire nation in the 2004 election.

While Democrats continued to hold most local offices here well into the  1980s, today Republicans dominate every level of government, usually winning by  well over 70 percent of the vote.
