The 19th District includes most of Santa Barbara County and the Simi Valley. It includes both rural and suburban areas, from the southern parts of the Central Coast to the suburbs of Los Angeles.
The 19th includes portions of three counties, with the majority of the district's population in Ventura County. The district includes the entire Simi Valley, including Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and the city of Ventura itself.
Almost all of Santa Barbara County is in the district, including the city of Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley.
The Los Angeles County portion includes the sections of Santa Clarita not in the 17th.
[edit] Politics
The 19th Senate District is a fairly safe Republican. As of 2006, 36% of Registered Voters were registered Democrat while 41% were registered Republican. In 2004, Senator McClintock received 61% of the vote.
[edit] 2001 redistricting
In the 1990s, the 18th and the 19th both included portions of the district. The 18th included all of Santa Barbara and the northern half of Ventura. The 19th included the Simi Valley and all of Santa Clarita, in addition to a large portion of the San Fernando Valley. The 2001 redistricting collapsed the two districts, putting the northern half of 18 into Senate District 15 and most of the Los Angeles County portion of 19 into Districts 17 and 20.
