Using data on elections to the U.S. House of Representatives and leveraging cross‐district variation in HIV/AIDS mortality during the period 1983–1987, we find that, beginning with the early 1990s, exposure to HIV/AIDS mortality increased the vote share, voter turnout, and contributions made to Democratic candidates. The increased support for Democrats is larger in competitive districts. The results are consistent with HIV/AIDS mortality impacting cultural attitudes and leading to broader and persistent changes in voting patterns and political participation.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
