2001 redistricting

In the 1990s, the 18th and the 19th both included portions of the district. The 18th included all of Santa Barbara and the northern half of Ventura. The 19th included the Simi Valley and all of Santa Clarita, in addition to a large portion of the San Fernando Valley. The 2001 redistricting collapsed the two districts, putting the northern half of 18 into Senate District 15 and most of the Los Angeles County portion of 19 into Districts 17 and 20.
