I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents California's 42nd Congressional District. A few reasons for this caution: 1. **My knowledge has a cutoff date** and may not reflect recent elections or any changes. 2. **District boundaries change** after redistricting (which happened following the 2020 Census), so CA-42 may cover different areas than it did previously. **To get accurate, current information, I'd recommend:** - **House.gov** — use the "Find Your Representative" tool at [house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative](https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative) by entering your ZIP code - **Your state or county election office website** - A quick search for "CA-42 representative" along with the current year These sources will give you the correct, verified name for your specific address, since ZIP codes sometimes span multiple districts.
