cpvi = R+13California's 2nd congressional district is very large geographically, containing much of the far north of the state of California, north of Sacramento. The district covers all of Colusa, Glenn, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, and Yuba Counties, and parts of Butte and Yolo Counties. The current Representative for this district is Republican
Wally Herger , who has represented the district since 1987.Competitiveness
This sprawling seat covers almost all of interior northern California with the main cities in the district being Redding and the college town of Chico.
Although a long time Republican stronghold, the demographics in some areas are changing. The city of Chico in Butte County has some Democratic-leaning areas and the city of Weed in Siskiyou County holds a Democratic majority. Other counties within the current district boundary that are becoming more Democratic include Trinity County and Yuba County, which are both in a near-dead heat in registration.
