congressional district
Representative's home turf
A congressional district is a geographic division of a U.S. state, each represented by one member in the House of Representatives.
District boundaries are redrawn after each census to maintain roughly equal population across districts.
The process of redrawing, called redistricting, often sparks controversy over gerrymandering—manipulating boundaries for political advantage.
