world.wikisort.org - USA

California's 8th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California. As of 2021, Republican Jay Obernolte represents the district. Currently, the 8th district encompasses most of the eastern desert regions of the state. It stretches from Mono Lake to Twentynine Palms. It consists of Inyo and Mono counties plus most of the land in San Bernardino County.[3] It is the largest and thus the least dense congressional district in California.^{[citation needed]} The largest city in the district is Victorville.

R+8[2]

Redistricting before the 2022 election moved the district to the northeastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The new district includes parts of Contra Costa County and Solano County including the cities of Vallejo, Fairfield, Richmond and parts of Martinez. Unlike the old 8th district, the new 8th is heavily Democratic.[4]

Competitiveness

Before the 2011 redistricting, the 8th district was a Democratic stronghold. It gave John Kerry his best performance in California in 2004, backing the Democrat with 84.2% of the vote. Barack Obama continued on this trend in 2008 when he received 85.22% of the vote in the district while John McCain received 12.38%.

The new 8th district lies in a politically conservative region of the state with a "Strongly Republican" Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+10. The Cook Political Report ranks it the 87th most Republican-leaning congressional district in the United States.[5]

In the 2012 election, the first after the state's adoption of top-two primaries, the 8th district was one of only two in California where two Republicans faced each other in a runoff election.[6] In 2018, it was the only such California district.[7]
