Who is my U.S. representative in CA-23?

I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents California's 23rd Congressional District. A few reasons for caution here:

1. **District boundaries change** - Congressional districts get redrawn after each census (redistricting), so CA-23 today may cover different areas than it did a few years ago.

2. **Elections happen regularly** - House members are up for election every two years, so representatives can change.

3. **My knowledge has a cutoff** and may be outdated.

## How to find your accurate answer:

- **Use the official House lookup tool:** Go to [house.gov](https://www.house.gov) and enter your ZIP code (this is the most reliable method, since it uses your actual address).

- **Visit [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov)** to search current members by state and district.

- **Check your state's Secretary of State website**, which often has voter/district lookup tools.

One tip: entering just your ZIP code sometimes isn't precise enough, since a single ZIP can span multiple districts. The house.gov tool will ask for your full address if needed.

If you'd like, tell me your city or a nearby landmark and I can try to give you general context—but for the definitive answer, the lookup tools above are your best bet.
