Dina Titus, a Democrat and retired UNLV professor, has served as the district's representative since 2013. From 2008 to 2010, Titus represented part of the same geographic area as Nevada's 3rd district, which was redrawn as part of the 2010 redistricting cycle.^[4]

Since it was created in 1982 from an at-large district, the only Republican to represent the 1st district has been John Ensign for two terms from 1995 until 1999.^[5]

Since the 2020 census resulted in redistricting, the district has been considered competitive^[5] due to demographic changes^[6] and the overall political climate.^[7] However, Democrats have held the seat since. As of February 2025^[update], the 2026 Cook Political Report analysis of House races across the country classified the 1st district as competitive with Democrats having a two point advantage over Republicans.^[8]
