The Division of Xinhu (/ˈʃɪnhuː/ shin-hoo) is a Craftian federal division in the state of Addams. It was created in 2022 and was first contested at the federal election held later that year. It is a provincial electorate located on the state's mid-north coast, with its main population centre being the regional city of Lawrencia, and is named after Lake Xinhu, a prominent lake in the area.
The sitting member, since the 2070 federal election, is Rudy Rayford, a member of the Craftian Conservative Party.
==History==
The northeastern coast of Addams was historically a very rural region, making the seat of Xinhu fairly safe for the Conservatives. While the city of Lawrencia occasionally tilts towards the National United Party, it was usually nowhere enough to overcome the conservative bent of the rural areas. Indeed, until the 2050s it was usually regarded as one of the "Blue Wall" seats of central Addams. However, with population growth and urbanisation, the seat has become increasingly marginal over successive elections and has been won by United on multiple occasions, while the other Blue Wall seats have returned Conservative members without interruption since the early 2030s. Today, Xinhu is very marginal, with the current Conservative margin being 0.72%.
