Texas 11th Congressional District 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 1 consecutive presidential elections.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Texas 11th Congressional District peaked at eighty-one points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1968 election delivered the district to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of twelve points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.
The economic and demographic context is severe. The median household income of $74,785 is among the lowest at this geographic scale; 13% of residents live below the federal poverty line.
