District 1 for the United States House of Representatives in the state of Kansas is the eleventh largest congressional district in the nation. Popularly known as "the Big First", it encompasses 69 counties in western and central Kansas—more than half of the state—and is very rural in character. The largest city in the district is Salina. Other sizable cities in the district include Dodge City, Emporia, Garden City, Hays and Hutchinson which was shifted to the 1st from the 4th District when Kansas lost a House seat following the 1990 census. The 1st District has long been one of the most solidly Republican congressional districts in the country. Republican candidates often win in this district with 90% or more of the vote. The Republican congressman for this district, Jerry Moran, has represented the district since 1997, often without a Democratic opponent in the race. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas%27s_1st_congressional_district
