California's 21st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California which is centered in the San Joaquin Valley, and includes areas of Fresno County, Kern County, Kings County, and Tulare County. Cities in it include Coalinga, Delano, Hanford, and outer parts of Bakersfield.
The district is currently represented by Republican David Valadao. Democrat Emilio Huerta, who lost to Valadao in 2016, had announced that he would run against Valadao again in the 2018 midterm elections.[3] Huerta withdrew from the race on March 2, 2018.[4] On March 6, 2018, with the filing deadline looming, "TJ"(Terrance John) Cox, an engineer and small businessman, announced that he would not run in CA-10 against Rep. Jeff Denham; but instead, would run in CA-21 against Rep. Valadao. In 2017, the District leaned 5 points more Democratic than the nation as a whole, according to the Cook Political Report's Partisan Voting Index.[2]
Formerly, from 2003–2013, the 21st district covered all of Tulare County and the eastern half of Fresno County.
