Who is my U.S. representative in CA-08?
Your current U.S. representative for California's 8th district is John Garamendi (D), who has held the seat since January 2023. His current term runs through January 3, 2027, and he's running for reelection in the June 2, 2026 primary. A couple of things worth flagging: Redistricting is in play. California redrew its congressional map in 2025–2026 (part of the redistricting fight following Texas's map changes), and voters approved the new map in a November 2025 special election. The new district lines take effect with the November 2026 election, so CA-08's boundaries — and possibly its representative after this year — could shift. If you're near the edges of the current district, it's worth double-checking with the CA Secretary of State's site closer to the election. Whatdistrictamiin Currently, the 8th district covers parts of Contra Costa and Solano counties, including Vallejo, Fairfield, Richmond, and parts of Martinez. If that doesn't match where you live, you may actually be in a different district — happy to look that up if you give me your city or ZIP code. Wikipedia
