California's 3rd congressional district is a congressional district located in the U.S. state of California. It covers most of Sacramento County and part of Solano County, as well as all of Alpine, Amador and Calaveras counties. The district has been represented by Republican Dan Lungren since 2005.

[edit] Competitiveness

This seat once extended up the Sacramento Valley to take in rural territory up to Tehama County. The 2001 reapportionment plan reconfigured the seat, but as in its previous incarnation, the bulk of the population lies within the suburbs of Sacramento County.

Once a Democratic bastion, the district became more conservative over the years and finally elected a Republican in 1998. The 2001 reapportionment made the district more compact and Republican than its predecessor, though it is far less Republican than the neighboring 4th District. Although there has been some movement in registration in favor of the Democrats, it still has a strong GOP flavor as most of Sacramento's Democratic voters live in the neighboring 5th District.

While George W. Bush carried the district in 2004 with 58.2% of the vote, the district swung rapidly in the Democratic column in 2008 with Barack Obama narrowly winning a plurality with 49.28% of the vote over John McCain's 48.81%.
