California's 34th congressional district is a congressional district in Los Angeles County, the U.S. state of California. The district is currently represented by Democrat Xavier Becerra. On December 1, 2016, Governor Jerry Brown appointed Becerra as the new Attorney General of California, replacing Kamala Harris who was elected to fill retiring U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer's seat. California Speaker Emeritus John A. Perez, who represented much of the same area while in the State Assembly, has announced his candidacy for this seat, and has quickly lined up major endorsements and is considered to be the front runner to replace Becerra.

Geography

The district is almost entirely within the City of Los Angeles and includes the following neighborhoods in Central, East and Northeast Los Angeles:
