[constituency_baseline] District summary: Connecticut's 1st Congressional District is anchored by Hartford, the state capital, and stretches north through suburbs and rural towns in Hartford, Litchfield, and Middlesex counties. The district has a population of approximately 721,000 and is the most Democratic-leaning district in Connecticut (D+11 PVI). It features an urban core with significant Black and Hispanic populations alongside affluent suburbs. The economy is anchored by the insurance industry (Hartford is known as the 'Insurance Capital'), aerospace manufacturing (Pratt & Whitney's East Hartford headquarters), and healthcare. Major educational institutions include Trinity College and multiple Connecticut State University campuses. The district has not elected a Republican to Congress since 1956.

Voted nay on H.R. 7521 (Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (TikTok Divestiture Bill)) on 2024-03-13: Larson was one of only 50 House Democrats to oppose this 352-65 bipartisan bill. He broke with the majority of his party and the overwhelming House consensus, citing First Amendment concerns — a position resonant with younger constituents in a district home to large university populations (UConn, Trinity College) where TikTok is widely used.

Voted nay on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (Debt Ceiling Suspension)) on 2023-05-31: Larson broke with 78% of House Democrats (165 Yes, 46 No) to oppose the bipartisan deal. In a Hartford Courant op-ed, he explained he voted no 'to protest the normalization of holding the American economy hostage' and argued the 14th Amendment makes the debt ceiling unconstitutional. His district includes Hartford, heavily dependent on federal employment and benefits that would be threatened by default.
