Who is my U.S. representative in CA-36?

I don't have access to real-time data, so I can't tell you who currently holds the CA-36 seat with certainty—House members change through elections, resignations, and other events, and my information may be outdated.

Here's how to find your current representative reliably:

**Best option:** Go to **house.gov** and use the "Find Your Representative" tool by entering your ZIP code. This gives you the official, up-to-date answer.

**A note on districts:** California's district boundaries were redrawn after the 2020 Census (the current maps took effect for the 2022 elections), so if you're going by an older district number, it may correspond to a different area than it used to.

**To be sure of your own representative,** confirm you're actually in CA-36 first—you can check this at house.gov or ballotpedia.org by entering your address, since district lines don't always follow obvious geographic or city boundaries.

If you'd like, I can share what I know about the CA-36 area, but I'd recommend verifying the current officeholder through the official source above.
