History

Democrat Charles Edward Bennett represented the district from 1948-1992. Bennett chose to retire in 1993 rather than fight an intense reelection campaign against challenger Tillie K. Fowler in the 1992 House election. Fowler won the election and became the first Republican woman to represent the district. She held the position from 1993-2001.
