Commentary

House Speaker Tom Leonard (R) is serving his final term in this seat, due to term limits. While the district has a 60% Republican base, in the last two presidential elections the vote split was close to 50/50. As recently as 2014, the district narrowly voted in favor of the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. With that being said, in 2016 Speaker Leonard received 62% of the vote and 56% of the vote in 2014.
