Four districts held by Republicans may flip from “safe Republican” to “safe Democratic” or “lean Democratic” based on the chart’s ratings under the new lines: California’s 1st, 3rd and 41st districts, represented by GOP Reps. Doug LaMalfa, Kevin Kiley and Ken Calvert, shift to “safe Democratic”, while the 48th district, held by Darrell Issa, shifts to “lean Democratic.”
California’s 13th District in the San Joaquin Valley, which Democratic Rep. Adam Gray flipped in a razor-thin race against former Rep. John Duarte in 2024, will be modified from “lean Republican” to “safe Democratic.”
The map could add more Democratic voters to the 22nd District represented by GOP Rep. David Valadao, which includes parts of Bakersfield and stretches north, but it’s unclear whether the changes could flip the battleground district to unseat him.
Calvert’s district would see the biggest change. The current 41st District would be divided up between neighboring districts, and Democrats would create a new one in Los Angeles County.
