He's represented the district since 2019, and following California's 2025 Prop 50 redistricting, the newly drawn 9th District now covers San Joaquin County as well as parts of Stanislaus and Contra Costa counties, including parts of Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, and Antioch.

Because of the redistricting, CA-09's boundaries changed this year, so if you haven't checked recently, it's worth confirming your address still falls in the district via the California Secretary of State's "Who Are My Representatives" tool.
