Third column names the leading third-party or independent finisher. Source · MIT Election Lab · ICPSR · VEST (precinct-level 2024). Swing · margin change from the prior cycle. vs U.S. · margin relative to the national result that year. Third-party votes in 2012 are allocated from certified county totals by this place's share of each county's two-party vote — that cycle's precinct source records two-party splits. † 2004 sub-county results are estimated: the source's block-level detail for this cycle was unreliable — either county/municipality-level consolidated reporting (COVID-era) or a precinct-to-block allocation that misplaced votes — so the figures are allocated from the constituent county totals in proportion to the place and scaled to certified totals.

With a 2024 presidential margin of R+38.1, this district stands well outside New Mexico's statewide competitive range. Its rural character and relatively small population of roughly 30,000 reflect the eastern plains geography that anchors its consistent partisan lean.
Across the recorded series it reached a Republican high of 38.1 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 7.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 38.1 points.
A population of 29,755, a 26% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $44,691 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 61 and State House District 32.
