"district_summary": "West Virginia's 1st Congressional District encompasses the southern half of the state, including Charleston (the state capital), Huntington, Beckley, Bluefield, Lewisburg, Princeton, and White Sulphur Springs. The district is home to approximately 877,000 residents and is overwhelmingly rural, spanning 28 counties from Cabell and Wayne in the west to Pendleton and Pocahontas in the east. The district is 90.8% White (Non-Hispanic) with small Black (3.2%) and Hispanic (1.4%) populations. Median household income is $54,402 — well below the national median of $78,538 — and the poverty rate is 18.8%, significantly above the national average. Only 22.1% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, and 12.2% lack a high school diploma. Homeownership stands at 75%, median property value is $134,500, and the median age is 43.9. The district relies heavily on coal, natural gas, healthcare, and retail employment. It is overwhelmingly Republican (R+22 to R+43 per varying Cook PVI estimates) and voted for Trump by large margins. Miller has held the seat since 2019 (originally elected in WV-03; redistricted to WV-01 in 2022). The district has been particularly devastated by the opioid epidemic; McKesson Corp alone shipped 555 million doses of opioids to West Virginia between 2007 and 2012. As of 2024, 24.8% of the population is on Medicaid, 17.1% on Medicare, and 5.85% are uninsured.",
