I'll look up the current U.S. representative for California's 3rd Congressional District.
Your U.S. representative in California's 3rd Congressional District (CA-03) is **Kevin Kiley**.

Notably, 
the district is represented in the House of Representatives by the only independent in the House, Kevin Kiley, although he caucuses with the Republican Party.


A bit about the district: 
CA-03 includes the northern Sierra Nevada and northeastern suburbs of Sacramento, stretching south to Death Valley.
 
It encompasses Alpine, Inyo, Mono, Nevada, Placer (where the majority of the district's population lives), Plumas, and Sierra counties, as well as parts of El Dorado, Sacramento, and Yuba counties, including the Sacramento suburbs of Roseville (the district's largest city), Folsom, Orangevale, Rocklin, Auburn, and Lincoln, along with the mountain towns of Quincy, South Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Mammoth Lakes, and Bishop.


**Important note about upcoming changes:** California recently redrew its congressional maps. 
On August 21, 2025, the California Legislature passed a redistricting plan setting a special election for a constitutional amendment to redraw the state's congressional district boundaries, and voters approved the proposition by a 65%-35% vote, allowing the map that would make five districts more favorable to Democrats to take effect.
 
These boundaries are still in effect for the current representative, but new lines take effect with the next election.


So Kevin Kiley is your current representative, but keep in mind the district lines will change for the November 2026 election. If you'd like, I can help you figure out your district under the new map — just let me know your ZIP code or address.

The response correctly identifies Kevin Kiley as the representative, but falsely claims he is 'the only independent in the House,' when he is a Republican, which is a fabricated fact.
