'''California's 12th congressional district''' is a [[congressional district]] in northern [[California]]. [[Barbara Lee]], a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], has represented the district since January 2023. The district was also once represented by [[Richard Nixon]], at a time when the district encompassed [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]], [[Pomona, California|Pomona]], and [[Whittier, California|Whittier]].
 
Currently, the 12th district is located in [[Alameda County, California|Alameda County]] and includes the cities of [[Oakland, California|Oakland]], [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]], [[Emeryville, California|Emeryville]], [[Alameda, California|Alameda]], [[Albany, California|Albany]], [[Piedmont, California|Piedmont]], and most of [[San Leandro, California|San Leandro]]. TheWith a [[Cook Partisan Voter Index]] rating of D+40, the 12th district is the most [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] district in both California and the United States, giving nearly 90% of its vote to Democrats in both the [[2016 United States presidential election in California|2016]] and [[2020 United States presidential election in California|2020 presidential elections]].<ref name="Cook"/><ref>{{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>
 
Before redistricting in 2023, the 12th district was within [[San Francisco]], encompassing most of the city.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maps: Final Congressional Districts |url=http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/maps-final-draft-congressional-districts.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130310180458/http://wedrawthelines.ca.gov/maps-final-draft-congressional-districts.html# |archive-date=March 10, 2013 |access-date=February 24, 2013 |publisher=Citizens Redistricting Commission}}</ref> The remainder of the city was included in the [[California's 14th congressional district|14th district]].
Line 38:
When the district was created after the [[1930 United States Census|1930 census]], it was located in [[Los Angeles County, California|Los Angeles County]]. As California's population grew, however, the district generally was moved northward, eventually to the San Francisco peninsula.<ref>[[California Constitution]], Article 21, Section 1(c) (congressional districts), Section 2(f) (state government districts).</ref>
 
[[Richard Nixon]], who would subsequently serve as the 37th [[president of the United States]], represented this district from 1947 to 1951, when it was located to the east of Los Angeles. [[Nancy Pelosi]], the former [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|speaker of the House]], represented the district from 2013 to 2023, when it covered most of San Francisco. She had previously served [[California's 5th congressional district]] from 1987 to 1993 and [[California's 8th congressional district]] from 1993 to 2013 and currently represents [[California's 11th congressional district]].

Due to the 2020 redistricting, California's 12th district has effectively been shifted to the former geography of the [[CA-13|13th district]]. It encompasses the coastal section of [[Alameda County, California|Alameda]], and is anchored by [[Oakland, California|Oakland]]. This district borders the 13th district, and Alameda County is partitioned between them by Grant Ave, Union Pacific, Lewelling Blvd, Wicks Blvd, Manor Blvd, Juniper St, Dayton Ave, Padre Ave, Fargo Ave, Edgemoor St, Trojan Ave, Beatty St, Fleming St, Highway 880, Floresta Blvd, Halcyon Dr, Hesperian Blvd, Thornally Dr, Highway 185, 150th Ave, Highway 580, Benedict Dr, San Leandro Creek, and Lake Chabot Regional Park. Alongside Oakland, the 12th district takes in the cities of [[Alameda, California|Alameda]], [[Albany, California|Albany]], [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]], [[Emeryville, California|Emeryville]], [[Piedmont, California|Piedmont]], and [[San Leandro, California|San Leandro]]. Technically, the western most tip of [[Alameda (island)|Alameda Island]] is part of the [[San Francisco|City and County of San Francisco]]. However, it is uninhabited.
