[constituency_baseline] District summary: Texas's 19th Congressional District spans a vast swath of West Texas from Lubbock south to Abilene and surrounding rural counties, encompassing approximately 773,548 residents. The district is the food, fuel, and fiber capital of America — anchored by cotton farming, oil and gas production, and wind energy. It has a median household income of $63,608, well above the national median but below the Texas suburban average. The poverty rate is 16%, homeownership stands at 62.6%, and only 25.3% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. The population is 50.2% White (non-Hispanic), 39.1% Hispanic, with 24.6% speaking a language other than English at home. Major economic drivers include agriculture (cotton, cattle), energy (oil, gas, wind), healthcare, higher education (Texas Tech University in Lubbock), and defense (Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene). The district has a Cook PVI of R+26 and is one of the most reliably Republican districts in Texas. Arrington has held the seat since 2017 and announced his retirement in November 2025.
