Historical district boundaries [ ]
What was once the 44th congressional district is now California's 50th congressional district .
In the 1980s, the 44th district was one of four that divided San Diego . It covered some of the northern and eastern parts of San Diego County . The district had been held for eight years by Democrat Jim Bates and was considered the most Democratic district in the San Diego area. However, Bates was bogged down in a scandal involving charges of sexual harassment . Randy "Duke" Cunningham won the Republican nomination and hammered Bates about the scandal. He won by just a point, meaning that the San Diego area was represented entirely by Republicans for only the second time since the city was split into three districts after the 1960 United States census .
In the 1990 U.S. census , the district was renumbered the 51st congressional district , and much of its share of San Diego was moved to the new 50th congressional district .
Between 2003 and 2013, the 44th district covered an area of Southern California from San Clemente in Orange County on the coast, north-by-northeast inland to Riverside County , including the cities of Corona , Norco , Rubidoux , and Riverside .
