In January 2018, Republican incumbent Ed Royce announced his retirement.[ 30] Royce's retirement created great uncertainty and interest in this election, due to the possibility of two candidates of the same political party winning California's jungle primary .[ 31] [ 32]
The primary election resulted in two candidates of different parties, with Republican Assemblywoman Young Kim and Democrat Gil Cisneros coming in first and second place respectively.[ 33] After the general election, it took several days to gather and tally absentee ballots, but on November 17, Cisneros was the projected winner of the election.[ 34]
Historical district boundaries [ edit ]
The 39th congressional district was originally one of five reapportioned to California after the 1970 United States census .
From 1993 to 2003, the 39th congressional district was a Republican stronghold. In 2003, this territory was mostly redesignated into the neighboring 40th congressional district and 42nd congressional district . From 2003 to 2013, the 39th district was represented by Linda Sánchez , who now represents the 38th congressional district .
