California's 12th congressional district is a congressional district in northern California . Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi , a Democrat , has represented the district since January 2013. She has represented various congressional districts within the city of San Francisco since 1987. The district was also once represented by Richard Nixon .
As of 2013, the 12th district is entirely within San Francisco , encompassing most of the city.[2] The remainder of the city is included in the 14th district .
Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the district consisted of roughly the area of the current 14th district . It is the smallest district by area outside New York City .
History [ edit ]
When the district was created after the 1930 census , it was located in Los Angeles County . As California's population grew, however, the district generally was moved northward, eventually to the San Francisco peninsula.[3]
Richard Nixon , who would subsequently serve as the 37th president of the United States , represented this district from 1947 to 1951. Nancy Pelosi , the current speaker of the House , is the current representative of the district. She had previously served California's 8th congressional district from 1993 to 2013.
