Curious if Atlas' surplus of left-of-center types translates to actually being from Democratic-voting areas or not.

My Congressional District, Florida's 4th Congressional District, is represented by a Republican, has a Cook PVI of R+17, voted for Rutherford (R) over Bruderly (D) by 70-28%, and for Trump (R) over Clinton (D) by 62-34%.

So, my CD is anything but left-wing.

OR-1 is a strongly Democratic district but not as much as OR-3. Represented by Democrat Suzanne Bonamici.

SD-AL is represented by Republican Kristi Noem.

Here is the list of people have have represented my state in the US House since South Dakota has had only one.

1981-1987: Tom Daschle, D (who began as one of two, in 1979)
1987-1997: Tim Johnson, D
1997-2003: John Thune, R
2003-2004: Bill Janklow, R

2004-2011: Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D
2011-:        Kristi Noem, R

I'm guessing that after Kristi vacates her seat to run for Governor, it will be filled by Republican Secretary of State Shantel Krebs.

Even though South Dakota is a conservative state that votes overwhelmingly Republican in presidential and gubernatorial elections, it's sent quite a few Democrats to Washington.  That may not happen for again for a while, though.

My district is a tossup (On a congressional level) though currently occupied by Tom Suozzi who is a Democrat. It goes through congressman of both party's on a regular basis electing the last Republican in Peter King in 2013. Meanwhile on a national level it is more lean D if anything. It has been close since the 1990s with the Democrat always winning out. Bush was the only republican to win here in 2004 since 1992.

R+17 and currently represented by Jim Bridenstine. Ironically the last time a Democrat was elected to represent the seat was in 1984.

VA-8 has a PVI of D+21, and is represented by Rep. Donald Beyer, member of the New Democrat Coalition.  It is the most Democratic district in Virginia, at least since 1990 -it was more of a swing district in decades prior.

Deeply democratic county with a Republican congressman because Ohio's gerrymander is awful.

Vote in VA-10 (Barbara Comstock). Live in VA-05 (all-around terrible person Tom Garrett). This poll's responses are actually a bit surprising to me.

I've got my homegirl Alma Adams in NC-12 (D+18). Used to live and currently go to school in low-energy Robert Pittenger's district (NC-09, R+8. Could conceivably go D in a wave, but a likely 2-year rental in that case).

EDIT: Added PVI.

Birth district and current home district: TX-03
PVI: R+13
Rep: Sam Johnson (Samuel Robert Johnson) (1991-present)
Previous Rep: Steve Bartlett (1983-1991)
2016 General Election: Sam Johnson (R) 61.2%; Adam Bell (R) 34.6%
2014 General Election: Sam Johnson (R) 82%; Paul Blair (Green) 18%
2016 POTUS: Donald Trump: 55%; Hillary Clinton: 41%
2012 POTUS: Mitt Romney: 63%; Barack Obama: 34%
Racial demographic: 61.4% white, 14.5% hispanic, 12.6% asian, 8.6% black, 2.8% mixed/other
Largest city: Plano (286,057 in 2016)
Major universities: Collin College, SMU-in-Plano, DBU North
The last Democrat to represent TX-03 in Congress was Joe Pool, who was highly influential in providing funding for the 7,740 acre-lake that now bears his name. It elected James Collins in a 1968 special election, and since it has been represented by Collins till 1983, Bartlett from 1983 to 1991, and Johnson till present day. Johnson is the sole Vietnam vet still in the US House of Representatives (he's 86, and he's announced his retirement).

TX-03 was one of the first areas in Texas to begin electing Republicans. The sprawl-y suburbs of Dallas were affluent, and saw little reason to not vote Republican. During this time, TX-03 was based in northern Dallas County. The meteoric growth of Collin County resulted in TX-03 moving more and more to the north, and losing more and more of its share of Dallas County. In 2013, it became entirely in Collin County. TX-03 is likely to shrink even more in 2020.

TX-03 is the home of many corporate headquarters and big corporate offices, like such as Alliance Data, Cinemark Theatres, Dell Services, Denbury Resources, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Ericsson, Frito-Lay, HP Enterprise Services, J. C. Penney, Pizza Hut, Rent-A-Center, Siemens PLM Software, and Toyota Motors USA.

But not all of it is archetypical rich McMansion suburbia like this.

There are poor sections of the district. These are concentrated in places like Eastern Plano. However, the CD overall is your typical rich McMansion suburban district, and the poor parts are kind of irrelevant; median income is around $84,000.

ME-01. Chellie Pingree, and the PVI is D+8. Last elected a Republican in 1994, who served one term before losing in 1996 (ironically, ME-02 was a gain for the Democrats in the midst of that Republican wave).
