California's 8th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California that covers most of the city and county of San Francisco except for the southwestern parts of the city which are included in the 12th Congressional District.
Democrat Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, has represented the district since 1993 when the area was redistricted from the 5th Congressional District.
The 8th District is one of the most reliably Democratic districts in the country, though progressive third parties like the Green Party often poll well in the district. It is geographically the smallest congressional district in the nation outside of New York City.[1]
The district gave John Kerry his best performance in California in 2004, backing the Democrat with 84.2% of the vote. Barack Obama continued on this trend in 2008 when he received 85.22% of the vote in the district while John McCain received 12.38%.
[edit] Demographics
According to figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, the district is 42.9% white, 28.7% Asian, 15.7% Hispanic and 8.6% black.
The 2000 U.S. Census also revealed that the district contains the highest number of same-sex couples per capita in the nation. Of 97,305 couples residing in the district, 7,521 (or 7.73%) were same-sex.[2] Included in the district within the city of San Francisco is The Castro district, a well known gay neighborhood.
