legislative district
Representative's home turf
A legislative district is a geographic area represented by an elected official in a legislative body.
Districts divide a state or country into zones of roughly equal population, each electing one or more representatives: She's running for state senate in the 12th legislative district.
District boundaries are redrawn periodically based on census data, a process that can become politically contentious.
