Keethler may get a boost from redistricting, which occurred after a 2020 court decision found voter discrimination in the boundary lines. Many of the redrawn districts now include more Democrat-friendly neighborhoods, giving Democrats hope of gaining seats. The total contributions raised in this race have reached a staggering $1.3 million, an unusually high figure for a legislative seat. This equates to roughly $8.12 per person in the district. Muzzall and his Republican supporters have raised $880,658.92, spending nearly all of it with expenditures of $819,445.07. Muzzall was appointed to the seat in October 2019 by the Board of County Commissioners to replace Barbara Bailey .

The district was redrawn after a successful 2020 legal challenge that claimed the previous boundaries discriminated against Latino voters.
