California's 9th congressional district


California's 9th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California.
Jerry McNerney, a Democrat, has represented the district since January 2013.
Currently, the 9th district is centered on Stockton. It consists of most of San Joaquin County and portions of Contra Costa and Sacramento counties. Cities in the district include Antioch, Galt, Oakley, Lathrop, Lodi, Mountain House, and Stockton.
Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the 9th district encompassed part of the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. Cities in the district included Oakland, Berkeley and Castro Valley. Most of that area is now in the 13th district, while the current 9th is primarily made up of portions of the former 18th and 11th districts.
