New Mexico's 1st congressional district of theUnited States House of Representatives serves the central area ofNew Mexico, including most ofBernalillo County, all ofTorrance County, and parts ofSandoval,Santa Fe, andValencia counties. It includes almost three-fourths ofAlbuquerque. The district has a notableNative American presence, encompassing severalpueblos, including thePueblo of Laguna andSandia Pueblo, and theTohajiilee Navajo Reservation outside Albuquerque.^[4] The seat is currently represented byDemocratMelanie Stansbury. With aCook Partisan Voting Index rating of D+7, it is the most Democratic district in New Mexico, a state with an all-Democratic congressional delegation.^[5]

Unlike other districts in the state, in recent years this district has had a strong track record of its representatives ascending to higher office.Deb Haaland, Stansbury's predecessor, resigned in 2021 to become theUnited States Secretary of the Interior. Her predecessor,Michelle Lujan Grisham, took office asgovernor of New Mexico in 2019. Grisham's own predecessor,Martin Heinrich, was elected to the United States Senate in 2012.

Until the1968 elections, New Mexico's representatives were all electedat-large statewide. Starting in 1969, however, they were elected by districts.
