The Most Politically Interesting Congressional Districts?

[VPH]

Minnesota 8th District: I find it fascinating how historic immigration still plays a part in affecting politics here today. It's also interesting to see the influence of labor-types clashing against the exurbs in the Southern portion of the district.

Arizona 1st District: There are so many factors at play here. Lots of Native reservations, liberal Flagstaff, Pinto Democratic counties. It's really cool to see how they interact with politics and come together.

Virginia 10th District: Really a study in contrasts, between exurban areas that voted for Stewart and the more highly educated white collar areas.

Kansas 2nd District: Topeka is diverse and swingy with lots of state employees and a college. Lawrence is left wing as hell. Southeast Kansas votes like Appalachia. Leavenworth and Atchison have the old labor/Catholic Dems. Emporia has a college and is notably lower income, but has a large and growing Hispanic population. It's such a blend and there's a heck of a race shaping up there in 2018.

Massachusetts 9th District: Cape Cod has lots of resorts, but it's also suffering from lack of opportunities for jobs and young people moving. While resort areas tend to trend Democratic, will we see Cape Cod go the other direction at some point? Maybe there will be a bifurcation of sorts on the Cape.
