OMG there are actually two districts bluer than mine? (Lateefah Simon/Barbara Lee). I'm impressed! My eyes might have glazed over and skipped a number here and there... Thanks for these numbers, guys!

I'm based in CA-12 as well! Prior to Lateefah Simon being elected last year, Barbara Lee last got re-elected back in 2022 by 90.5%.

We are so spoiled :) We moved here during Ron Dellums' tenure, and I was skeptical that anyone could live up to that legacy - and then, Barbara Lee, and you know that story. Lateefah Simon is not well known yet, but I met her years ago when she ran for something like BART board, and her ability to articulate a progressive position cleanly and clearly for potential constituents was dazzling. I am confident she will live up to the legacy.

SimonтАЩs only a few months as a freshman House member so sheтАЩs got time to build her image and relations in the CA-12 community.

Of course, yes, she's new at this job, but a lot of people have voted for her previously in her other positions around here. Real Downballot aficionados - the Vote The Whole Ballot crowd ;) The trumpling a couple blocks down my street (in west BERKELEY) won't care for her, but I expect a lot of the district will be very pleased.

What are they? I could only find Pennsylvania-2 and D.C.

We're the ones who are kind of flummoxed by the instruction "write your congressperson!" to make sure they will vote the way you want them to. But we do drop a note every once in awhile saying "Love ya - keep up the great work" :)
