California's 7th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California.

Contents

Ami Bera, a Democrat, has represented the district since January 2013.

Current district

The 7th district represents eastern Sacramento County.
Cities in the district include:

  • Elk Grove
  • Folsom
  • Rancho Cordova.
  • Former

    Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the 7th district was centered on Benicia. It consisted of portions of Solano and Contra Costa counties. Most of that territory is now the 11th District. Meanwhile, most of the current 7th had been the 3rd District prior to 2013.

    Competitiveness

    Before the 2013 redrawing of the district, it was solidly Democratic. However, the new district is rated "even" by the Cook Partisan Voting Index.

    Living former Members

    As of April 2015, there are two former members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California's 7th congressional district that are currently living.
