Welcome To the 21st District of California
California’s 21st Congressional District lies at the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, encompassing parts of Fresno and Tulare counties. Dozens of languages are spoken throughout the 21st District, representing the region’s diversity. From Portugal to Japan, families from around the globe have made the 21st district their home. Home to key institutions like the Robert E. Coyle Federal Courthouse, Central California VA Hospital, and Fresno’s 144th Fighter Wing, the district is only a short drive from Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.
But beyond its federal presence, the 21st is an agricultural powerhouse. Rich in agricultural products like citrus, dairy, almonds, and grapes, both counties rank in the top agricultural-producing counties in the nation, yet nearly 30% of residents struggle with food insecurity. Poverty runs deep—10% are uninsured, unemployment hovers around 10%, and 58% rely on Medicaid for healthcare.
Despite these challenges, the district is growing and making strides. Federal investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and workforce development are strengthening our economy.
