California's 45th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California.

The district is based in Orange County and includes the communities of Irvine, Tustin, North Tustin, Villa Park, Orange, Anaheim Hills, Laguna Hills, Lake Forest, parts of Aliso Viejo, parts of Laguna Niguel, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Mission Viejo.

Mimi Walters, a Republican, has represented the district since January 2015. Walters, however, does not live in the district she represents. Instead she is a resident of California's 48th congressional district, represented by Dana Rohrabacher.

2018 midterm elections

Incumbent Walters competed against a field of four Democrats and an independent candidate in the primary election for the 2018 midterm elections. On February 25, 2018, UC Irvine (UCI) assistant law professor Dave Min received the endorsement of the California Democratic Party.[3]

Min, former White House senior technology advisor Brian Forde,[4] former legislative assistant to Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Kia Hamadanchy,[5] UCI law professor Katie Porter[6], and UCI business professor John Graham ran in the "top two" primary in June 2018. Walters and Porter placed first and second and will advance to the general election in November.
