U.S. House district for California
California's 20th congressional district is a congressional district in California . Serving much of the southern and southeastern part of the state's Central Valley , the district is currently represented by Republican Kevin McCarthy , the former Speaker of the House .
Redistricting in 2022 returned the district to the San Joaquin Valley. The new 20th district includes parts of Kern , Tulare , Kings , and Fresno counties. It includes the southern Sierra Nevada and western Mojave Desert , with three "fingers" extending west into the valley. Cities in the district include Clovis , Tehachapi , Ridgecrest , Taft , Lemoore , the west and northeast sides of Bakersfield , the south side of Visalia , the northeast side of Tulare , the north side of Hanford , and a sliver of northeastern Fresno including California State University, Fresno .[3] Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+16.[2]
Before 2022, it encompassed much of the Central Coast region. The district included Monterey and San Benito counties, most of Santa Cruz County , and portions of Santa Clara County .
Before redistricting in 2011, the 20th district was located in the San Joaquin Valley . It covered Kings County and portions of Fresno and Kern counties, including most of the city of Fresno . That area is now largely divided between the 21st and 16th districts, while most of the current 20th was within the former 17th .
