California's 27th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California. The district is currently represented by Republican Mike Garcia. It was one of 18 districts that would have voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election had they existed in their current configuration while being won or held by a Republican in 2022, and the only Republican-held congressional district to include portions of the actual city of Los Angeles.
