Who is my U.S. representative in CA-12?
Your current U.S. representative for California's 12th District is Lateefah Simon, a Democrat, first elected in 2024. The district covers the East Bay area (Oakland, Berkeley). Whatdistrictamiin A couple of things worth flagging, though: Redistricting is in play. California's congressional map was redrawn during the 2025–26 mid-decade redistricting following Proposition 50, and new district lines take effect with the November 2026 election. So depending on where you live, CA-12 as currently drawn may not be the same district you'll be in after this fall. Whatdistrictamiin There's a 2026 race underway. Simon and Heath Fulkerson are running in the general election for the seat on November 3, 2026, with the top-two primary having taken place June 2, 2026. Ballotpedia Ballotpedia If you want to double check you're actually in CA-12 (especially given the redistricting), it's worth using the House's official "Find Your Representative" tool or your county elections office site with your address.
