I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents California's 26th Congressional District. A few reasons for this: 1. **My knowledge has a cutoff date**, so even the information I do have may be outdated. 2. **District boundaries and numbers change**—California's districts were redrawn after the 2020 Census, so CA-26 today may cover a different area than it did previously. 3. **Elections happen regularly**, so representatives can change. ## How to find your current representative The most reliable way is to look it up directly: - **House.gov** — Use the "Find Your Representative" tool at [house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative](https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative) by entering your ZIP code. - **GovTrack.us** — Search by district or address. - **Ballotpedia** — Search "California's 26th congressional district" for current officeholder info. Using your full address (not just the district number) is the best approach, since ZIP codes sometimes span multiple districts. Would you like help understanding what a U.S. representative does or how to contact their office once you find them?
