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]

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]
As of January 2017[update] , there are two former members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California's 39th congressional district who are alive.
