Response review

Your U.S. Representative for California's 8th congressional district (CA-08) is **John Garamendi** (a Democrat). 

**A quick note on redistricting:** 
California's congressional maps changed significantly following the 2020 census (taking effect for the current Congress in January 2023). 
* The **current CA-08** is located in the San Francisco Bay Area and covers parts of Solano and Contra Costa counties, including cities like **Richmond, Vallejo, Pittsburg, and Antioch**. 
* *(If you live in the High Desert/San Bernardino County area which used to be the 8th district prior to 2023, your representative is likely now Jay Obernolte in the new 23rd district).*

**To be absolutely sure:**
If you live near the edge of a district boundary, it is always best to verify using your exact street address. You can do this by entering your ZIP code at **[house.gov](https://www.house.gov/)** (look for the "Find Your Representative" box in the top right corner).
