Who is my U.S. representative in CA-26?

I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents California's 26th congressional district. A few important things to note:

1. **Congressional district boundaries change** after each census (most recently 2020), so the district you're asking about may have been redrawn.

2. **Representatives change** through elections, resignations, and other events, and I can't verify current officeholders.

To find your accurate, current U.S. representative, I'd recommend:

- **Enter your address at [house.gov](https://www.house.gov)** — there's a "Find Your Representative" tool that uses your specific address (the most reliable method, since district lines don't always match ZIP codes)

- **Visit [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov)** for official member information

- **Check your state's Secretary of State website** for California election and district information

The address-based lookup is your best bet, since knowing just the district number still requires confirming who currently holds the seat.

Is there anything else I can help you with?
