California's 10th congressional district
California's 10th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California. Currently, the 10th district encompasses an area of the northern San Joaquin Valley.

Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the 10th district stretched from Livermore to the outskirts of Vacaville. It consisted of portions of Alameda, Contra Costa, Sacramento, and Solano Counties.
==Competitiveness==
The 10th district received national attention in 1996 when Democrat Ellen Tauscher defeated incumbent Republican Bill Baker.
In the 2002 redistricting of California, all seats were made safe〔See Politics of California#Bi-partisan gerrymandering〕 for the parties of incumbent officeholders. The district boundaries were extended to include parts of Solano County, southwestern Sacramento County, eastern Contra Costa County and El Cerrito in western Contra Costa County. Although much of the suburban Tri-Valley region was lost to the 11th Congressional District, the city of Livermore remained in the 10th at Tauscher's request (as a member of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, she had some oversight responsibilities over the U.S. Department of Energy, and hence indirectly of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory).
On June 26, 2009, Tauscher resigned her seat to be sworn in as Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security.〔http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_11942936〕〔http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/capitolalertlatest/020826.html〕 In the ensuing special election held on November 3, 2009, former Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi won the seat over Republican David Harmer 53.0% to 42.7%.
