The new 11th District was formed as a result of the 2020 U.S. Census. The District consists largely of communities that made up the former 11th Congressional District and the former 14th Congressional District. Each of those districts had a long history of accomplishments to advance conservative political issues.
As a start, the new 11th District can list these early accomplishments since its leadership team was elected in February 2023:
- Converted and combined the two previous district’s websites, Facebook, Twitter, Telegram and related email lists into unified tools
- Created a new Instagram account
- Approved new District by-laws
- Conducted a Committee survey to help form the direction through 2024
In time, the new 11th District will expand its own significant list of accomplishments. To recognize the history of its two principal founding districts, summaries of their recent accomplishments are below:
