I feel this. I moved from a large reliably blue town to a small town that is basically split down the middle last year. This was my first time voting in this new district and I felt like my vote really mattered.

Same. Moved from Vermont to New Milford. This town has Republican mayor (who’s alright frankly), our state rep is Republican, and Hayes had a pretty tight race for reelection. This town is split about 60/40 Republicans to Democrats, but lots of liberal folks are moving here and a lot of the kids that grew up here have moved back (or never left) and they are mostly voting Dem. Things are changing and we’re definitely a part of it.
