I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents California's 8th Congressional District. A few reasons why: 1. **My knowledge has a cutoff date**, so any answer I give could be outdated. 2. **Congressional district boundaries change** after redistricting (which happened after the 2020 Census), so the district's location and representative may have shifted. 3. **Elections change representatives**, and I can't verify current officeholders. To get accurate, current information, I'd recommend: - **Visiting [house.gov](https://www.house.gov)** and using their "Find Your Representative" tool (you can enter your ZIP code). - **Checking [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov)** for current member listings. - **Your state's Secretary of State website** for California election information. The most reliable method is entering your specific address, since district boundaries don't always follow simple ZIP code or city lines.
