Geography edit
The district is based in Southeast Missouri and includes all of the counties of Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Madison, Mississippi, Perry, and Scott. Major cities in the district include Cape Girardeau, Sikeston, Jackson, Perryville, Charleston, Scott City, and Fredericktown. The district is home to Southeast Missouri State University.
The district, anchored in the GOP stronghold of Cape Girardeau County, is heavily Republican. Although Democrats are competitive in local/countywide elections, Republicans dominate in state and federal elections in the district. The district has only backed a Democratic statewide candidate once in the past 12 years: former Governor Mel Carnahan in 1996.
