California's 10th congressional district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tenth Congressional District of California is located in the East Bay region of Northern California. This once compact and politically balanced district achieved national attention when Democrat Ellen Tauscher defeated incumbent Republican Representative Bill Baker. In the 2002 redistricting, all seats were made safe for the parties of incumbent officeholders. The district was extended to include Livermore at Tauscher's request (as a member of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, she has some oversight responsibilities over the Department of Energy, and hence indirectly of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory).
