Montana's At-large congressional district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. state of Montana is fully within one congressional district, represented since 2001 by Republican Dennis R. (Denny) Rehberg. The district was created as a result of reapportionment in the 1990 census, in which Montana lost a seat in the House of Representatives. The district is currently the largest congressional district by population with over 900,000 constituents. President George W. Bush won Montana in the 2004 Presidential election with 59.1% of the vote, beating John Kerry by 20 percentage points, which indicates that the district leans Republican. However, there is a significant Democratic presence in the state: as of 2006 the Governor's office, the state Senate, and both U.S. Senate seats are controlled by the Democrats, which should make the district competitive if Rehberg were to retire from office.
