Overview

Despite being a heavily Democratic state at the statewide level, California sends a significant number of Republicans to the House of Representatives. California’s Republican House members represent diverse districts across the Central Valley, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and rural Northern California. These members often play critical swing roles in closely divided House votes.
