I'll look up the current U.S. Representative for California's 8th Congressional District (CA-08) for you. Your U.S. Representative for California's 8th Congressional District (CA-08) is **John Garamendi (D)**. As of 2023, Democrat John Garamendi represents the district, which includes parts of the Bay Area counties of Contra Costa County and Solano County, including the cities of Vallejo, Fairfield, Richmond and parts of Martinez. He has held the seat since January 3, 2023, with the next election scheduled for 2026. A note worth keeping in mind: California recently passed a redistricting plan (reported in August 2025) to counter Texas Republicans , so district boundaries and numbering could shift in future elections. If you'd like, I can help you confirm your specific representative by looking up your exact address, since district lines can vary within a region.

Correctly identifies John Garamendi as the representative matching the ground truth, but includes incorrect district details—CA-08 actually covers areas that differ from the described cities, and Garamendi historically represented CA-08 differently; the geographic descriptions appear muddled/fabricated.
