California's 22nd congressional district

U.S. House district for California

California's 22nd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California. It is represented by David Valadao, who formerly represented California's 21st congressional district from 2013 to 2019 and 2021 to 2023. As of 2024, this district, alongside New York's 4th, is the most Democratic-leaning congressional district represented by a Republican, with a partisan lean of D+5.^[2] It was also one of 18 districts that would have voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election had they existed in their current configuration while being won or held by a Republican in 2022.
