Andrews, TX sits in the Gulf South and Southern Plains. Its political identity was forged in the union halls of the mid-twentieth century, when industrial labor and the Democratic party became, for working people, two faces of the same political fact. That identity held for 2 consecutive presidential elections.

The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Andrews, TX peaked at ninety-six points in 1916; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1968 election delivered the metro to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of thirteen points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.

The economic and demographic context is severe. The median household income of $72,242 is among the lowest at this geographic scale; 16% of residents live below the federal poverty line.
