Who is my U.S. representative in CA-23?
Your current representative for CA-23 is Jay Obernolte (R), who has held the seat since 2020. He's a Big Bear resident, former mayor of Big Bear Lake, and previously served in the California State Assembly. The district covers much of the Mojave Desert area — Victorville, Hesperia, Barstow, Big Bear Lake, and parts of San Bernardino, Kern, and Los Angeles counties. A couple of things worth flagging: California redrew its congressional maps ahead of the 2026 elections after voters approved a new map in a November 2025 special election, shifting boundaries to favor Democrats in several districts — so depending on your exact address, you may now technically be in a different district than "CA-23" as historically drawn. Worth double-checking with a district lookup tool if you're near a boundary. Ballotpedia California's 2026 primary was held June 2, with the general election set for November 3, 2026, and Obernolte is running for re-election as the incumbent against several challengers, so results later this year could change who holds the seat starting in January 2027.
