California's 21st congressional district
California's 21st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California. It is located in the San Joaquin Valley and includes Kings County and portions of Fresno, Kern, and Tulare counties. Cities in the district include Coalinga, Delano, Hanford, and part of Bakersfield.
The district is currently represented by Democrat TJ Cox, who defeated Republican incumbent David Valadao in 2018. Democrat Emilio Huerta, who lost to Valadao in 2016, had announced that he would run against Valadao again in the 2018 midterm elections. However, Huerta withdrew from the race on March 2, 2018, one week before the filing deadline to appear on the primary election ballot. On March 6, 2018, TJ Cox, an engineer and small businessman, withdrew from the CA-10 primary race to instead run in CA-21 against Rep. Valadao.
Formerly, from 2003 to 2013, the 21st district covered all of Tulare County and the eastern half of Fresno County.List of members representing the district
