Principal cities in the district include Oklahoma City (the state capital), Edmond, Shawnee, and Seminole.

The district is currently represented by Democrat Kendra Horn. In 2018, Horn defeated Republican Steve Russell in his second bid for reelection, marking the first time a Democrat had won the seat in 44 years.[5]

Prior to the opening of the 116th Congress on January 3, 2019, the district had been held by a Republican since January 23, 1975, when Democrat John Jarman changed political parties.[6] Before Jarman, the seat had leaned Democratic since 1931.

Donald Trump received 53.2 percent of the vote in this district in 2016.

Kendra Horn received 50.7 percent of the vote in 2018.
