惊不惊喜， 最穷的十个州（都是红州）， 连一个民主党议员都没有 - arrowheads
As of May 2026, there are 11 Democratic representatives serving in the U.S. House of Representatives from the 10 states with the highest poverty rates.
These 10 states—Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee—have a combined total of 54 congressional seats. The vast majority of these districts are represented by Republicans, with Democrats typically holding only one seat per state in majority-minority or urban districts. New Mexico is the only state in this group with a majority-Democratic delegation.
Democratic Representation in the 10 Poorest States (2026)
The table below outlines the number of Democratic representatives in each of the 10 poorest states:
| Poorest State | Total House Seats | Democratic Representatives |
|---|---|---|
| Mississippi | 4 | 1 |
| Louisiana | 6 | 1 |
| New Mexico | 3 | 3 |
| West Virginia | 2 | 0 |
| Kentucky | 6 | 1 |
| Oklahoma | 5 | 0 |
| Arkansas | 4 | 0 |
| Alabama | 7 | 1 |
| South Carolina | 7 | 1 |
| Tennessee | 10 | 3 |
| Total | 54 | 11 |
Key Context
- Political Lean: Of these 10 states, 8 are considered "Red" (Republican-leaning), while New Mexico is the only solidly "Blue" (Democratic-leaning) state. Kentucky is often classified as "mixed" due to its Democratic governor, though its congressional delegation is predominantly Republican.
- Congressional Districts vs. States: While the states themselves are mostly Republican-represented, data from 24/7 Wall St. has historically shown that the individual poorest congressional districts in the U.S. are often represented by Democrats, largely because these districts are frequently located in high-poverty urban centers or rural majority-minority areas.
