Notes 1 2 3 Key: ↑ This district was numbered as the 39th district prior to the 2020 redistricting cycle . ↑ The Desert Sun states that the status of his campaign was unclear as of July 2025. ↑ This district was numbered as the 50th district prior to the 2020 redistricting cycle . ↑ Morrison would be moved to California's 49th congressional district in the event that Prop 50 redistricting should pass. He would stay in the race regardless, and would vote for Mike Levin in his hypothetical district. [ 221] Congressional candidates are not required to live in the district they intend to represent even after they get sworn in, as long as they are a resident of the state they would represent.
