California's 32nd Congressional District

California's 32nd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California based in Los Angeles County. The 32nd district takes in the city of Malibu and the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades, Beverly Glen, Bel Air, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, West Hills, Canoga Park, Winnetka, Reseda, Tarzana, Encino, Chatsworth, Northridge, Brentwood, North Hills, as well as the south side of Granada Hills.

The district is currently represented by Democrat Brad Sherman.

The district was previously represented by Democrat Judy Chu. Following the 2012 elections, due to redistricting, Chu ran for U.S. Representative in the 27th congressional district, while Grace Napolitano ran in the 32nd congressional district, having been displaced from the 38th district. Sherman, the district's current representative, previously sat in the House for California's 30th congressional district.

Historical district boundaries

From 2003 through 2013, the district consisted of parts of eastern Los Angeles, including Covina, Baldwin Park and El Monte. Due to redistricting after the 2010 United States census, the district moved slightly south within Los Angeles County but still includes most of the previous areas.
