California's 39th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California. The district includes parts of Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties, and includes Fullerton, La Habra, La Habra Heights, Brea, Buena Park, Anaheim Hills, Placentia, Yorba Linda, Diamond Bar, Chino Hills, Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights. It is currently represented by Democrat Mark Takano, but will be represented by Democrat Gil Cisneros in 2019.

History

The 39th Congressional District was originally one of five reapportioned to California after the 1970 U.S. Census.

From 1993 to 2003, the 39th Congressional District was a Republican stronghold. In 2003, this territory was mostly redesignated into the neighboring 40th Congressional District and 42nd Congressional District. From 2003 to 2013, the 39th district was represented by Linda Sánchez, who now represents the 38th Congressional District.

In January 2018, Republican incumbent Ed Royce announced his retirement, creating great uncertainty and interest in the 2018 district election, with concerns about multiple Democrats and Republicans running in the district's jungle primary[4][5][6] Assemblywoman Young Kim and Democrat Gil Cisneros won first and second place respectively, advancing to the November 6 general election.[7] After the general election, it took several days to gather and tally absentee ballots, but on November 17, Cisneros was declared the projected winner.[8]

2018

In January 2018, Republican incumbent Ed Royce announced his retirement.[4] Royce's retirement created great uncertainty and interest in this election, due to the possibility of two candidates of the same political party winning California's jungle primary.[5][6]

The primary election resulted in two candidates of different parties, with Republican Assemblywoman Young Kim and Democrat Gil Cisneros coming in first and second place respectively.[7] After the general election, it took several days to gather and tally absentee ballots, but on November 17, Cisneros was the projected winner of the election.[8]
