California's 20th congressional district is a congressional district in California including much of the southern and southeastern part of the state's Central Valley . The district is currently represented by Republican Vince Fong . Fong was elected in a special election on May 21, 2024 after Kevin McCarthy resigned from Congress following the motion to vacate that ousted him from the office of House Speaker .[ 3] [ 4]
Redistricting in 2022 returned the district to the San Joaquin Valley . The new 20th district includes parts of Kern , Tulare , Kings , and Fresno counties. It includes the southern Sierra Nevada and western Mojave Desert , with three "fingers" extending west into the valley. Cities in the district include Clovis , Tehachapi , Ridgecrest , Taft , Lemoore , the west and northeast sides of Bakersfield , the south side of Visalia , the northeast side of Tulare , the north side of Hanford , and a sliver of northeastern Fresno including California State University, Fresno .[ 5] Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+16.[ 2]
Before 2022, it encompassed much of the Central Coast region. The district included Monterey and San Benito counties, most of Santa Cruz County , and portions of Santa Clara County .
Before redistricting in 2011, the 20th district was located in the San Joaquin Valley . It covered Kings County and portions of Fresno and Kern counties, including most of the city of Fresno . That area is now largely divided between the 21st and 16th districts, while most of the current 20th was within the former 17th .
