TexasDistrict 1 of the UnitedStatesHouse of Representatives is a Congressional district that serves the northeastern portion of the state of Texas.
The district was predominantly rural for much of its history, and thus was far friendlier to electing Democrats to Congress even as most of Texas swung toward the Republicans.
The district's four-term Democratic incumbent, Max Sandlin, was a particularly severe critic of the DeLay-led redistricting effort, claiming that lumping rural areas with urban ones stifled the voice of rural voters.
