California's 18th congressional district is a congressional district located in the U.S. state of California . The district is currently represented by Democrat Zoe Lofgren . Since the 2022 election, the district is landlocked and includes all of San Benito County and parts of Santa Clara and Monterey counties, including Salinas , Hollister , Watsonville , Gilroy , Soledad , and downtown and eastern San Jose .[ 3]
Due to the presence of Silicon Valley , the district had[when? a median household income of $149,375, the second highest of any congressional district in the country.[ 1] [ 4]
Following the 2020 census and the subsequent 2020 United States redistricting cycle , California lost a congressional district, leading to significant changes across California's districts. Most of the area previously part of the 18th district was split into the new 16th district and 19th district . The 18th district was moved to cover the Salinas Valley in Monterey County and the downtown and east side of San Jose . With the changes, the 18th became a Latino majority district.[ 5]
Following the 2010 census and the subsequent 2010 United States redistricting cycle , California's 18th congressional district was redrawn by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission . Cities and CDPs in the district include Palo Alto , Stanford , Los Altos , Woodside , Mountain View , Los Altos Hills , Campbell , Saratoga , Los Gatos , and Scotts Valley ; most of Menlo Park and Redwood City ; and part of San Jose .
Following the 2000 census and the subsequent 2000 United States redistricting cycle , California's congressional districts were redrawn by the California State Legislature . From 2003 to 2013, the district was located in the San Joaquin Valley . It included Merced County and portions of San Joaquin , Stanislaus , Madera , and Fresno counties. Cities in the district included Modesto , most of Stockton , Ceres , Atwater , Merced , and Los Banos .
Recent election results from statewide races [ edit ] Under the 2020 redistricting, California's 18th congressional district was shifted geographically to cover the Salinas Valley . It encompasses San Benito County , the southernmost point of Santa Cruz County , and the interiors of Santa Clara and Monterey Counties. The area in Santa Cruz County includes most of the city of Watsonville ; and the census-designated places Interlaken , Amesti , and Freedom .
