California's 1st congressional district U.S. House district for California
California's 1st congressional district is a U.S. congressional district in California . Doug LaMalfa , a Republican , has represented the district since January 2013. Currently, it encompasses the northeastern part of the state. Since the 2022 election, it includes the counties of Butte , Colusa , Glenn , Lassen , Modoc , Shasta , Siskiyou , Sutter , and Tehama , and most of Yuba County . The largest cities in the district are Chico , Redding , and Yuba City .[ 1]
Prior to redistricting in 2021, it included the counties of Butte , Lassen , Modoc , Plumas , Shasta , Sierra , Siskiyou , and Tehama , most of Nevada County , part of Glenn County , and part of Placer County . In the 2021 redistricting, it added the Yuba–Sutter area and removed most of its share of the Sierra Nevada .[ 4]
Competitiveness
Prior to 2013, the GOP last held the seat in 1998 when U.S. Representative Frank Riggs decided to run for the U.S. Senate . Riggs was replaced by long-time Democratic Assemblyman and State Senator Mike Thompson. Redistricting in 2001 added Democratic-leaning areas of Yolo County .
John Kerry won the district in 2004 presidential election with 59.7% of the vote. Barack Obama carried the district in 2008 presidential election with 65.60% of the vote. The redistricting after the 2010 census made the district much more Republican-leaning; Mitt Romney and Donald Trump won the district by double digits in 2012, 2016, and 2020 respectively.
