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. It consists of:[4] Butte County, Lassen County, Modoc County, Plumas County, Shasta County, Sierra County, Siskiyou County, Tehama County, most of Nevada County, part of Glenn County and part of Placer County.

Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the district encompassed much of the North Coast and Wine Country, as well as part of the Sacramento Valley. It consisted of Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, and Napa counties plus portions of Sonoma and Yolo counties. That area is now primarily within the 2nd district, with the rest falling within the 5th and 3rd districts. The current district comprises much of the territory that had been the 2nd district, along with much of the eastern portion of the old 4th district.

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.
