self-described "lifelong republicans"? I'm thinking TN 1, TN 2, TX 7, TX 3 and AR 3 as possibilities.

In addition to the OP:

NC-09, LA-01, AL-01, MS-04, GA-14. The old NC-10 would have also been a good example.

Almost certainly TN-1 and TN-2. AR- 3  after that.

Last Democrat to represent TN-1 was in 1881. That has to be one of the longest streaks ever.

Shouldn't the better question be "lifelong Southern Republicans outside of the three Eastern Tenneessee districts?" Tongue

Probably one of the German Hill districts (if there is one) in Texas or AR-03 then. The old KY-05 if one counts Kentucky as the South as well.

Might actually be a good contender. That cluster of counties north of San Antonio was always R.

Also, maybe TX-01. Smith/Gregg counties make up a majority of it, which have been R for at least a few generations. The pre-Delaymander TX-01 is obviously a different story.

Maybe a district in Eastern Tennessee, so TN-1, or TN-2
