California's 41st congressional district is a congressional district in western Riverside County, in the U.S. state of California.

Contents

The district is currently represented by Democrat Mark Takano. It includes the cities of Moreno Valley, Perris, and Riverside, located in the Inland Empire region of Southern California.

San Diego County's 41st

In the 1980s, the 41st Congressional District was one of four that divided San Diego County, formerly located in the North County region. The district had been held for 12 years by Republican Bill Lowery and was considered the most Republican district in the San Diego area. The 41st District was renumbered as California's 51st Congressional District after the 1990 U.S. Census in which it became the Inland Empire's 41st.

San Bernardino County's 41st

From 2003 to 2013 the district included large portions of the cavernous San Bernardino County and a small portion of Riverside County. The district formerly represented parts of the Inland Empire region, San Bernardino Mountains, and Mojave Desert, stretching from portions of the city of San Bernardino north to the Nevada border and east to the Colorado River. Redlands was the largest city in that district; other cities included: Loma Linda, Yucaipa, Victorville, Barstow, Hesperia, Highland, Big Bear Lake and Needles.

Living former Members

As of April 2015, there are four former members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California's 41st congressional district that are currently living. The most recent representative to die was Lionel Van Deerlin (1973-1975) on May 17, 2008. The most recently serving representative to die was Bob Wilson (1975-1981) on August 12, 1999.
