New Mexico's 1st congressional district Interactive map of district boundaries since January 3, 2023
Representative Distribution Population (2023) 705,390[ 1] Median household income $68,255[ 2] Ethnicity Cook PVI D+5[ 3]
New Mexico's 1st congressional district of the United States House of Representatives serves the central area of New Mexico , including most of Bernalillo County , all of Torrance County , and parts of Sandoval , Santa Fe and Valencia counties. It includes almost three-fourths of Albuquerque . The district has a notable Native American presence, encompassing several pueblos including the Pueblo of Laguna and Sandia Pueblo , and the Tohajiilee Navajo Reservation outside Albuquerque.[ 4] The seat is currently represented by Democrat Melanie Stansbury . With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of D+5, it is the most Democratic district in New Mexico, a state with an all-Democratic congressional delegation.[ 3]
The district in recent years has, unlike other districts in the state, had a strong track record of its representatives ascending to higher office. Deb Haaland , Stansbury's predecessor, resigned in 2021 to become the United States Secretary of the Interior . Her predecessor, Michelle Lujan Grisham , took office as governor of New Mexico in 2019. Grisham's own predecessor, Martin Heinrich , was elected to the United States Senate in 2012.
Until the 1968 elections , New Mexico's representatives were all elected at-large statewide. Starting in 1969, however, they were elected by districts.
