4. I looked up the history of this house seat...

Since 2011 it has been held by a democrat.

2011 democrat won with 86.1% (rethug 13.9%)
2015 democrat won with 46% (rethug 18.8%) others were in this race.
2019 democrat won 100% (unopposed)

Looks like a solid democrat district.

6. A solid """Democrat""" district doesn't vote for Trump by 13 points.

7. Was that for the state or the district?

I only looked up for the district.

8. Trump won the district by that margin in 2024.

9. Oh, curious. They voted for him but for the state house they voted democrat.

I thought voting was done by party and no cross over, maybe that is just for the primary.
