Idaho's 1st congressional district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Idaho First Congressional District encompasses the western and northern parts of this US State. It includes most of the state capital, Boise, and its surrounding metropolitan area, including the cities of Nampa and Meridian. It also includes Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene. George W. Bush received 69% of the vote in this district in 2004. The district has a Cook Partisan Voting Index score of R +19.
Since 2007 the district has been represented in the United States House of Representatives by Bill Sali, a Republican from Kuna.
The district was created for the 1918 election by the Idaho Legislature, although the boundaries have been changed several times since then by reapportionment.
In the 2006 election, Sali defeated Democrat Larry Grant 50% to 45%.
