Who is my U.S. representative in CA-05?

I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents California's 5th Congressional District. A few reasons for this:

1. **District boundaries change** – California's districts were redrawn after the 2020 Census, so CA-05 may cover a different area than it did previously.

2. **Elections happen regularly** – Representatives can change with each election cycle, and my information may be outdated.

To find your current U.S. Representative accurately, I'd recommend:

- **house.gov** – Use the "Find Your Representative" tool by entering your ZIP code
- **congress.gov** – Search current members by state and district
- **Your state's Secretary of State website** – Often has official election information

The ZIP code tool is especially helpful because district boundaries don't always follow simple geographic lines, so entering your specific address ensures you get the correct representative.

Is there anything else I can help you with regarding how to contact your representative once you've identified them?
