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.
