California's 10th congressional district is a congressional district located in the U.S. state of California in the East San Francisco Bay Area region of Northern California.
The district is currently represented by Democrat John Garamendi, the former Lieutenant Governor of California.
[edit] History
This once compact and politically balanced district received national attention when Democrat Ellen Tauscher defeated incumbent Republican Bill Baker in 1996. In the 2002 redistricting of California, all seats were made safe[1] for the parties of incumbent officeholders. The district boundaries were extended to include parts of Solano County, southwestern Sacramento County, eastern Contra Costa County and El Cerrito in western Contra Costa County. Although much of the suburban Tri-Valley region was lost to the 11th Congressional District, the city of Livermore remained in the 10th at Tauscher's request (as a member of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, she had some oversight responsibilities over the U.S. Department of Energy, and hence indirectly of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory).
On June 26, 2009, Tauscher resigned her seat to be sworn in as Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security.[2][3][4] In the ensuing special election held on November 3, 2009, former Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi won the seat over Republican David Harmer 53.0% to 42.7%.
