Congressional & Legislative Districts In Santa Cruz County
Due to Redistricting in 2002, lines
have been changed.
However, the new lines do not become effective
until a candidate is elected to the new district boundaries and takes office.
The Congressional & Assembly seats are up
for election in 2002; therefore, the new district boundaries will be in effect when
Assemblymembers take office in December 2002 and Congressmembers take office in January
2003.
However, both the 11th and 15th
State Senate Districts are not up for election until 2004. Therefore, boundaries from the
1992 redistricting remain in effect until a candidate is elected to the new district
boundaries and takes office in December 2004.
The following district information may include
both the old and new districts, depending on which included or will include Santa Cruz
County.
For more information, please call
