'''California's 2nd congressional district''' is a [[List of United States congressional districts|U.S. congressional district]] in [[California]]. [[Jared Huffman]], a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], has represented the district since January 2013. It encompasses the [[North Coast (California)|North Coast]] region and adjacent areas of the state. It stretches from the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] to the [[Oregon]] border, and includes all of the portions of [[U.S. Route 101|Highway 101]] within California that are north of [[San Francisco]], excepting a stretch in [[Sonoma County, California|Sonoma County]]. The district consists of [[Marin County, California|Marin]], [[Mendocino County, California|Mendocino]], [[Humboldt County, California|Humboldt]], [[Del Norte County, California|Del Norte]], and [[Trinity County, California|Trinity]] counties, plus portions of Sonoma County. Cities in the district include [[San Rafael, California|San Rafael]], [[Petaluma, California|Petaluma]], [[Novato, California|Novato]], [[Windsor, California|Windsor]], [[Healdsburg, California|Healdsburg]], [[Ukiah, California|Ukiah]], [[Fort Bragg, California|Fort Bragg]], [[Fortuna, California|Fortuna]], [[Eureka, California|Eureka]], [[Arcata, California|Arcata]], [[McKinleyville, California|McKinleyville]], [[Crescent City, California|Crescent City]], and northwestern [[Santa Rosa, California|Santa Rosa]].<ref name="dra">{{cite web|url=https://davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap::fc9d2d06-7c7f-451c-92cb-122127a79c29|title=CA 2022 Congressional|publisher=[[Dave's Redistricting]]|date=2022-01-04|access-date=2022-11-11}}</ref> {{Toclimit|2}}

== History ==

From 2003 until the redistricting by the [[California Citizens Redistricting Commission]] that took effect in 2013, the 2nd district encompassed much of the far northern part of the state, from the [[Central Valley (California)|Central Valley]] north of [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]] to the [[Oregon]] border. It was the [[List of United States congressional districts by area|largest district by area]] in California.{{Citation needed|date=March 2020}} It consisted of [[Colusa County, California|Colusa]], [[Glenn County, California|Glenn]], [[Shasta County, California|Shasta]], [[Siskiyou County, California|Siskiyou]], [[Sutter County, California|Sutter]], [[Tehama County, California|Tehama]], [[Trinity County, California|Trinity]], and [[Yuba County, California|Yuba]] counties, plus portions of [[Butte County, California|Butte]] and [[Yolo County, California|Yolo]] counties.

The district had a dramatically different political history than its latest incarnation. While the 2nd is one of the most Democratic districts in California, the old 2nd had been a Republican stronghold for almost three decades. Much of this territory is now the [[California's 1st congressional district|1st district]], while most of the 2nd had been split between the [[California's 1st congressional district|1st]] and [[California's 6th congressional district|6th]] districts from 2003 to 2013.
