On November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 20, creating a Citizens Redistricting Commission. It's why we've seen more competitive races in this state since then.
As a result of redistricting, Mary Bono Mack -- yes, Sonny's widow -- was the incumbent in the 2012 36CD election. She lost to her Democratic challenger, Raul Ruiz, by 5.8 percentage points. Ruiz has since increased his margins of victory considerably, most recently defeating Republican Jeff Stone.
Clinton won the district with 52.3% of the vote compared to Trump's 43.4%.
