California's 1st State Senate district is one of 40 California State Senate districts. Republican Brian Dahle represents the district, having won the seat in a June 2019 special election after Republican Ted Gaines of El Dorado Hills resigned to become a member of the California Board of Equalization in January 2019.[3][4][5]

District profile

The district stretches along the eastern edge of the state from the Oregon border to the Lake Tahoe area. It wraps around the Sacramento Valley along the northern Sierra Nevada, extending westward into the eastern Sacramento suburbs. While the district is primarily rural, a substantial minority of the population is concentrated in the suburban southwestern portion.
