A growing number of Latino U.S. Congressional incumbents and challengers are seeking seats in non-Hispanic majority districts, reflecting the shifting political landscape and how it is becoming increasingly dispersed around the country.

An Axios review of U.S. House races heading into the 2024 election identified at least 10 contests with Latino incumbents or challengers seeking seats in these types of districts, a number that does not include the dozen or so undecided U.S. House primaries in states like Michigan and Wisconsin.
