SIXTH DISTRICT
In each of the last three decades, Arizona has created a new congressional district; in each case,
the district has stretched from Phoenix and Scottsdale to the Navajo Indian Reservation in the
northeast corner of the state. So it is with the new 6th Congressional District of Arizona, whose
boundaries are just a bit more irregular than those of its predecessors. The current District
includes just the northern edges of Scottsdale and Phoenix, with the suburbs of Carefree and
Cave Creek, rustic areas where the mile-square grids are far from filled in and the local stores
are more likely to feature horse feed than designer clothes. The 6th also takes in the old mining
towns of Globe and Clifton and the sparsely-populated, wind-swept desert up to, and including,
the Navajo Reservation. The district takes in seven Indian reservations total, but its erose
boundaries exclude the Hopis, who have a longstanding, sometime violent and continuing
boundary dispute with the Navajo which is now in federal court. Politically, the 6th's portions of
Phoenix and Scottsdale are heavily Republican, but the mining towns and the Navajo
Reservation are heavily Democratic, and so sometimes is newly added Flagstaff. The result is a
district leaning Republican, but potentially competitive.
So it proved in 1992, when the winner, Karan English, was not only a Democrat, but one from
a very small part of the district's vote base. English benefited greatly from the liabilities of her
opponents, but also had assets of her own. After working on civic (i.e., water) issues in Flagstaff,
she was elected to the Arizona House in 1986 and the Senate in 1990, where she chaired the
Environment Committee. She is proud of creating an Arizona Conservation Corps, a law
allocating some lottery revenues for small businesses in rural areas, and a waste disposal
measure. A Republican colleague claimed, "Karan is a little more interested in owls than
people"; but English points to her support of the line-item veto and balanced budget amendment
to bolster her image as a moderate Democrat. In early 1992, she was planning to run for
Congress in the 3d District against Bob Stump, but when the court plan put Flagstaff in the new
6th, she took on state Senate colleague and Majority Leader Alan Stephens in the primary.
Stephens was a power in the Capitol, but he had to move to legally reside in the district and,
although the charges had been dropped, he had been indicted in the Azscam scandal. English
beat him 44^30%, with 27% for a candidate based in the Navajo country.
Meanwhile, the Republican primary was won by Doug Wead, an Assemblies of God minister
and former Bush White House liaison to the religious right, who moved to Arizona in 1990 to run
for Congress and moved four times to stay in the 6th District. Wead was leading in polls and had
spearheaded the ultimately successful "It's TIME!" referendum requiring a two-thirds legislative vote for higher taxes. But Wead had some problems: the carpetbagger charge, his frequent
past appearances on Jim Bakker's TV show, his aggressive pro-life stand on abortion. That final
item was the last straw for Barry Goldwater, who got into conservative politics to keep
government taxes iow, not io have government regulate persona! conduct: Goldwater endorsed
pro-choice English, and she took the lead in the polls. English won by the unambiguous margin
of 53%^^^fc|rrying the half of the vote cast in Maricopa County as well as every other c<^
in the r i . ^ ^ ^ H i v e n the contingent nature of her victory, plus the Arizona vote for term I

SECOND DISTRICT
Rising 14,000 feet over low foothills and the silent Central Valley of California, visible for 1 0
0
miles, is the lone snow-capped volcanic cone of Mount Shasta, one of a string of (presumably)
burnt-out volcanoes that march up and down the Pacific Coast states. This is the far northern
end of California, where truck traffic on Interstate 5 is the only reminder of the choked
metropolitan areas where most of the state's people live. It is lumber country mostly, where the
mountains that rise on all sides—the Coast Range to the east, the Sierra Nevada to the west, the
scattered mountains sealing off the Central Valley north of Redding—are carpeted with trees;
roughflannel-shirt,two-lane-road country which was left behind economically when greater L s
o
Angeles and San Francisco were booming following World War II.
In the last dozen years, however, the northern end of California has been attracting young
people, mostly young families who come here to raise their children in a small town atmosphere.
Overall, the 2d has the highest percentage of non-Hispanic whites of any California district
(88%). The political result is that an area which from 1943 to 1980 elected rough-and-ready
Democrats who pulled strings in Sacramento and Washington to build roads and dams, n w
o
elects abstemious and circumspect Republicans who have solidly conservative voting records
and tend to local needs. That is certainly the case in the 2d District of California, which takes in
�CALIFORNIA
93
the northern end of California, with two major population areas: one around Redding, just below
Mount Shasta, and the other farther south, at the edge of the Sierra foothills, around the Butte
County communities of Chico and Paradise.
The congressman from the 2d District is Wally Herger, a solidly conservative Republican, a
businessman and rancher first elected to the Assembly in 1980. In 1986 he came to Congress
after winning solid margins over the mayor of Redding in the primary and a Shasta County
supervisor in the general. In the House he has probably been most vocal as a critic of the
Endangered Species Act, which he wants amended to account for economic effects; the spotted
owl controversy centers on Oregon, but there are plenty of people here dependent on lumbering
whose livelihoods might be endangered by concerns about a species as unmemorable as the
spotted owl. Herger also served on the conference committee on the Central Valley Project
water bill, the final version of which he opposed saying it "legislates a permanent drought."
Redistricting changed the 2d for 1992, subtracting several Central Valley agricultural counties
and adding a couple of less-populated counties in the Sierra Nevada. But that posed no problem
for Herger, who has raised and spent large sums against hapless and underfinanced Democrats.
After the 1992 election, he switched from the Agriculture and Merchant Marine Committees,
good for servicing the Valley areas, to Ways and Means and Budget, where he can be a force—a
solidly conservative force—on taxes and health care.

The 3rd bears little resemblance to the distria so designated
before 1992. The old 3rd included much of Sacramento and
some of its suburbs to the east, but now the 3rd scalps only the
northwestern corner of Sacramento County before running far to
the north, west and south to incorporate traas from the old 2nd
and 4th distrias.
The 3rd includes all of Yolo County and the eastern portion
(10 percent) of Solano County, which were in the old 4th.
Remapping gave the 3rd the spacious northern county of
Tehama, which serves as a bridge between the flat agricultural
lands of the upper Sacramento River Valley and the timber-rich
highlands of the Trinity-Shasta region to the north. The 3rd also
picked up the farm-oriented counties of Glenn, Colusa and

FIFTH DISTRICT
60JM
Sacramento, center of California's third-largest media market, home of a national sports
franchise (the NBA's Sacramento Kings) and an 18-mile light rail system, capital of the nation's
largest state, is no longer just a small city with a lot of civil servants and a vegetable-packing
economy. It is now a major American metropolis, with some of the nation's highest job growth in
the 1980s, projected to last through the 1990s. Sacramento started as a river port, on the
�100
CALIFORNIA
T
sluggish waters of the Sacramento and American Rivers. It was the destination of
many
overland migrants, including the ill-fated Donner party in 1846, the site of Sutter's Fort
where
John Augustus Sutter found the gold that set off the Gold Rush of 1849 and the v,
terminus of the Pony Express in 1860. It was the natural choice to be California's capitaj'
halfway between the Mother Lode country in the foothills of the Sierras and San Francisco Ba
and in the middle of California's vast valley. Agriculture continues to be important today j
Sacra-tomato (as some call it)—it has the world's largest almond processing plant. Government
for many years was not a big business here: just a few lobbyists hung out in saloons on K or j
Streets; the governor's mansion was a musty antique (Nancy Reagan hated it); and before air
conditioning, the 100-plus degree summers emptied out what there was of the city. But now ai
conditioning has replaced awnings; freeways and shopping malls have followed the city's growth
east and north toward the foothills of the Sierras; affluence has made this one of America's
higher income metropolitan areas. Government grew, even under conservative Republican
governors Ronald Reagan and George Deukmejian, and Sacramento in the 1980s became the
home of an army of lobbyists, lawyers and consultants larger than any such group outside
Washington. California's cynically competent legislators mostly live year-round in Sacramento
although they usually keep legal residences elsewhere. In the 1980s metropolitan Sacramento
grew 35%, more than any other large metro area except that other western capital, Phoenix, to
more than 1.5 million.
As Sacramento has grown, it has also become more Republican: this once Democratic, progovernment, working-class bastion has become something very close to an upscale Sun Belt
bcom town. Sacramento voted against Ronald Reagan for governor in 1966 and 1970, but voted
for him for president in 1980 and 1984; it spurned Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in the 1970s
but voted for George Bush in 1988 and gave Bill Clinton only a mediocre 44% plurality in 1992.
Civil servants and the Sacramento Bee once made Sacramento Democratic, but the increasing
rength of the private sector here (even though much of it feeds off government), the growing
affluence, immigration and competition from the peppery, conservative Sacramento Union all
have helped Republicans.
The 5th District of California consists of the center of the Sacramento metropolitan area plus
suburbs just northeast of the American River and south along the Sacramento. This is the older
core of the metro area, which now extends into four different districts, and is socioeconomically
varied, from affluent neighborhoods on older grid streets to scattered low-income black,
Mexican-American and Hmong neighborhoods. This is easily the most Democratic of the
Sacramento area districts, and indeed is the descendant of districts represented by Democrats
continuously since 1952. Its congressman is Robert Matsui, first elected in 1978, and now a
Ways and Means member of some influence on a variety of issues.
Born in 1941, the infant Matsui and his family were among the West Coast Japanese
Americans forced into internment camps in 1942, and although he has no memory of the
experience himself, he does remember the silence his family and others maintained about it. It
was Asian shame, when none of the victims had anything to be ashamed about. He was one of
the lead sponsors of the 1988 Japanese American Redress law which apologized for the
internment policy and provided monetary compensation for every survivor of the camps and for
so-called "voluntary evacuees."
Matsui also has worked hard on Ways and Means, where he was a staunch supporter of the
1986 rate-lowering, preference-cutting tax reform. For a time, Matsui showed restiveness and an
interest in seeking other office. In 1987, he was the first House member outside Massachusetts
to support Michael Dukakis, and at the same time sounded out fundraisers on the possibility of
running against then-Senator Pete Wilson. In 1989, Matsui thought briefly about running for
at
attorney general. In early 1991, he expressed interest in running for Alan Cranston's Senate seat.
Ie had fundraising potential among Asian-Americans, and was the only potential candidate
om inland California, but in May he dropped out of the race. Always a successful fundraiser,
e has served as treasurer of the Democratic National Committee since 1991. But at the same

. he was standoffish from party leaders, criticizing Speaker Tom Foley in March 1992 for
' t breaking gridlock and not doing enough to forestall anti-incumbent sentiment. He refrained
from endorsing Bill Clinton until that summer; even so his wife Doris Matsui became an
distant to the president for public liaison.
|n 1987, Harold Ford of Tennessee, pending resolution of his legal troubles, had to relinquish
j Ways and Means subcommittee chair. Matsui temporarily ended up with the Human
Resources Subcommittee chair with jurisdiction over Social Security, unemployment benefits,
welfare reform and child care. The first two issues evoke perfunctory responses from Demorats—no cuts in Social Security, always increase unemployment benefits; but the other two
""llow room for legislative creativity. Matsui seems to lean against a statist approach to child care
d toward a bigger tax credit or earned-income tax credit for families with children. Though
ford, acquitted of all legal charges, is back as chairman, Matsui will continue to be active on
child care issues.
Matsui favors targeted capital gains tax cuts and strongly backs free trade and NAFTA,
»• irning against restricting most favored nation status for China. He has tried to encourage mass
transit use by attaching to Pat Moynihan's transportation bill a $155 per month limit on tax
deductibility of employer-paid parking and a raise to $60 monthly tax-free benefits for public
transportation; he also pushed through a tax credit for using energy from wind and crop
j ration. But his influence has limits: he and Vic Fazio failed in their attempt to authorize an
Auburn Dam upriver from Sacramento.
Matsui has accumulated more than $1.4 million in his campaign treasury and has won
reelection easily. It's possible he'd be interested in running for governor in 1994 if no other
Democrat does; but that's unlikely, and there are many other attractive statewide slots opening
up in 1994.

creasingly self-selected cultural liberals—averse to traditional religion, derisive of traditional
^xual and marriage mores, viscerally anti-military. And over the years Marin, with its
mountain-bound subdivisions of contemporary houses, and southern Sonoma County, with its
rolling countryside and picturesque small towns, have attracted the most liberal of the affluent
liberal. Consider the election returns: Marin and Sonoma voted 59% for Michael Dukakis in
1988 and 56% for Bill Clinton in 1992—a dozen points above the national average and perhaps
double their percentage in similar income areas nationally.
The 6th Congressional District of California includes all of Marin County and more than half
f Sonoma. Its predecessor district was represented for 10 years by Barbara Boxer, now U.S.
senator, and the personification of trendy liberalism since she was elected to the Marin County
gyard of Supervisors in 1976. Boxer's 1992 candidacy for the Senate led to a competitive
pemocratic primary and even, for a time, a serious Republican challenge. The most talked
about candidates initially were J. Bennett Johnston I I I , son of the Louisiana senator, and Marin
Republican Assemblyman Bill Filante. Johnston raised $400,000 with his father's help and
pressed his pro-environment stand; but his Oil Patch connection hurt, and he won only 14% in
the primary. Two other Democrats tried to build on local bases: former Sonoma Supervisor Eric
Koenigshofer won 19% districtwide and former Marin Supervisor Denis Rice won 17%.
But they all were, in California Democrats' year of the woman, bested by Lynn Woolsey, vicemavor of Petaluma in southern Sonoma, and possessor of a biography that struck a chord:
Woolsey was a Marin housewife with three children under the age 6 when her marriage ended in
1968. She went on welfare, got a low-paying job and left her children with 13 different
babysitters in a year. Deliverance appeared in the form of a job with a high-tech startup where
»he rose to become a top executive. She remarried and moved to a house in Petaluma where her
mother could live and look after the kids. As she wrote in her campaign literature, "Finally I
could concentrate on work. The children had good care at last!" She went on to earn a degree in
human resources and started her own personnel service. She won a seat on the Petaluma Council
in 1984 and is proud of its record in limiting growth (Marin and Sonoma, with their low-growth
policies, are becoming lesser political forces in California), setting up affirmative action
programs and a Women of Color Task Force, requiring 15% of new housing reserved for lowmcome buyers and establishing a voucher system for low-income families' child care. " I know
what it means to have an effective safety net to help people get back on their feet," she
campaigned. " I know what a bottom line means. I have made the tough decisions to keep our
City prosperous in the post-Proposition 13 era."
Woolsey, after winning the June primary, was a formidable general election candidate, and
the became unbeatable in September, after Filante had surgery which removed only part of a
cancerous brain tumor. He stopped campaigning and although Republicans, including Sonoma
Assemblywoman Bev Hansen, stumped for him, Woolsey won with 65% of the vote. She won
teats on the Education and Labor Committee, where she vowed to support increased higher
education spending, and Budget, where she filled the vacancy created by Leon Panetta's
departure. It is possible she will have serious opposition from Hansen or some other Republican,
but she appears very strong in this district.

the 6th now weds Marin to the most populous portions of
neighboring Sonoma County.
The Marin identity notwithstanding, most of the distrias
votes are now cast in Sonoma County, where the 6th hugs the
Pacific Coast from scenic Bodega Bay north to the Mendocino
County line and reaches inland for the county's fast-growing
population centers such as Santa Rosa. Once a service town for
farmers, Santa Rosa has attraaed corporate as well as individual
refugees from the congestion of metropolitan San Francisco. It
grew by more than one-third in the 1980s, and it is the largest
city in the 6th. A few miles down state Highway 12 is Sonoma, a
rustic town enlivened by a campus of the California State
University system. Fifteen miles to the west on the SonomaMarin county line sits the unpretentious city of Petaluma, which
once proclaimed itself the "chicken-plucking capital of the
world."
To the south, Marin County is home to the city of San
Rafael, the famed prison at San Quentin and a small host of
commuter suburbs such as Kentfield, Ross, San Anselmo and
Fairfax. It has marvelous scenery: Mount Tamalpais, Stinson
Beach and the Point Reyes National Seashore. But it is best
known for its one-time artist colonies and more affluent suburbs
that cling to San Francisco Bay (Sausalito, Tiburon) or nestle
deep in the hills between the ocean and the bay (Larkspur, Mill
Valley). To mention some of these names is to evoke wistful
sighs from former residents, visitors and "California dreamers"
who know the area only through song lyrics and other myths of
the counterculture. In the past decade, the politics of this social
and cultural matrix have supplanted Marin's older GOP pattern.
Marin had voted for Republican Gerald R. Ford for president in
1976 and for Ronald Reagan in 1980.
But the county's partisan preferences changed during the
1980s. In 1984, Marin was one of just five California counties
voting for Walter F. Mondale. By 1992, GOP registration in the
county (as well as in the 6th generally) was down to 30 percent.
That figure is remarkably low, considering the 6th is overwhelmingly white (only two of the state's 52 congressional districts
have fewer minorities). In 1992, Bill Clinton carried Marin by a
more than 2-to-l margin over George Bush.
Marin's liberal aaivists in 1992 also elevated one of their own,
five-term Rep. Barbara Boxer, into the Senate and delivered her
House seat to another Democratic woman, Lynn Woolsey.

can influence in the suburbs to the south and east—on the
sunny side of the San Pablo ridge. Concord, currently a
terminus for rapid transit trains, became the county's biggest
city and passed the 100,000 mark in the 1970s. The unrelenting
suburban expansion began altering the political balance. Jimmy
Carter carried the 7th easily in 1976, but it went for Ronald
Reagan in 1980 and 1984. Slowly, Miller too felt the center of
gravity shift. His 61 percent vote share in 1990 was his lowest
since 1974.
But the trend was reversed in 1992. The court-appointed
"special masters" decided that the bayside residents of the 7th
had more in common with their neighbors to the west (in El
Cerrito, on the Alameda County line) and to the north (across
San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay in Solano County). So they drew
into the 7th the cities of Vallejo, Benicia, Cordelia and Suisun
City. These communities, home to farm-support services and
industry, are traditionally Democratic. Although new to Miller in
1992, they gave him roughly a 2-to-l edge over a Republican
challenger from Solano County.
At its new southern limit, the 7th still includes Concord. But
nearly all the other suburban territory has been removed and
added to the 10th Distria, dropping the Republican shate of
registered voters in the 7th from 34 percent in 1990 to 24 percent
in 1992.

California Republicans were generally pleased with the courtfashioned redistriaing plan, which seemed to level the state's
political playing field for 1992. But there were exceptions. Some
in the GOP had hoped that the new map would enable them to
go after 18-year House veteran George Miller, the chairman of
the House Natural Resources Committee and the scourge of
western Republicans on water and environmental issues. But the
new map raised Democratic registration in the 7th to 62 percent,
making Millet safer than ever.
The 7th has long been based in Contra Costa County, which
begins at San Pablo Bay, heads south over the San Pablo
Mountains and spreads inland well to the east of Berkeley and
Oakland (see map on page 69). Since World War II, the county
has seen its population swell from 100,000 to 800,000. In
response, the map for the 1990s confines the 7th to those
northernmost portions of the county where the growth is
oldest.
The new 7th still includes the shore of San Pablo Bay,
studded with industrial cities such as Richmond, San Pablo,
Pinole and Martinez. Here, oil terminals, faaoties and warehouses stretch for miles, belying the region's reputation for
natural beauty. In 1988, sensitive wetlands in Martinez were
soiled by an oil spill. Less than two years later, an explosion at
the Shell Oil refinery rattled windows seven miles away. In this
part of the 7th, residents are multiracial (Richmond is nearly
one-half black), predominantly blue collar and heavily Democratic.
Historically, this Democratic vote was diluted by Republi-

now abolished Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, he opposed the ABC bill
supported by Marian Wright Edelman's Children's Defense Fund, and, with fellow suburban
liberal Tom Downey, he backed an approach that would increase parent choice and give
government less supervisory power. That was Miller making trouble on the right; he always does
so on the left, as in March 1992 when there was talk as the House bank scandal broke that Miller
would run against Speaker Thomas Foley, and when he advised that Democrats should pass
redistributive economic legislation to divert attention from their problems. Nothing came of
either suggestion.
Miller was one of the big winners out of redistricting. He lost most of his Republican precincts
to the new Republican 10th District and gained Vallejo from Vic Fazio. This eliminated the
possibility of any serious challenge, at least until 1998, when the California term limits initiative
takes effect, which says that incumbents can run again but cannot be listed on the ballot.

�Rep. Lynn C. Woolsey (D)
f the first California Senate, the site since 1853 of the giant Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
Across the strait are tank farms and factories in Rodeo and Pittsburg and Martinez, the seat of
Contra Costa County (literally, the coast opposite San Francisco).
Politically, this industrial area was blue-collar, labor-union Democratic back in the days when
San Francisco, with its larger white-collar and professional population, often voted Republican.
More recently, as San Francisco has moved to the left on cultural issues, this industrial zone has
become a bit more conservative, but by Bay Area rather than national standards. The current
7th Congressional District of California includes most of this area, from Richmond and El
Cerrito along both sides of Carquinez Strait and Suisun Bay to include Vallejo, Rodeo, Martinez
and Pittsburg. It also proceeds inland through the intermountain interstices of Contra Costa
County to include most of the middle-class city of Concord. The district excludes the heavily
Republican and higher-income interior Contra Costa communities around Walnut Hill and the
San Ramori Valley, a good break for Congressman George Miller.
Miller is one of the products of the Watergate era class of 1974, the first baby boom liberal to
chair a House committee. He is also heir to a tradition of Bay Area working-class politics. His
father was chairman of the Slate Senate Finance Committee; when he died in 1969, Miller lost
the race to succeed him, but became a staffer for Senate leader (and later San Francisco Mayor)
George Moscone. In the House, Miller brings to his work an aggressiveness and zest for political
combat, a self-righteousness that is combined with a willingness to dissent from liberal
orthodoxy on occasion, a set of convictions not worn down by Capitol Hill clubbiness. Or perhaps
he has started his own club: he became famous for sharing a Capitol Hill lownhouse with fellow
congressmen Charles Schumer, Leon Panetta and Marty Russo, all of whom commuted to
families back in their districts; but Panetta was advised to move out and Dick Durbin and Sam
Gejdenson took his and Russo's spots.
Since 1991, Miller has chaired the House Natural Resources Committee (he changed the
name from Interior and Insular Affairs in 1993) with an aggressive pugnacity that was a sharp
change from the courtly humorousness of his predecessor Morris Udall. "People sent me to
Congress to kick ass and take names, and I'm not going to roll over," he said. From his Water
Subcommittee chairmanship. Miller long crusaded against the big subsidies received by farmers
in California's Central Valley and elsewhere in the West. In 1992, using his chairmanship and
with extra strength because of the California drought, he passed a major water bill, with projects
for most western states and a revision of California's Central Valley Project which channels onefifth of the state's usable water supply, requires farmers to pay prices closer to those of urban
water users and enforces fish and wildlife protection measures; this was passed with the help of
Senator Bill Bradley and over furious opposition from Valley politicians Senator John Seymour
and Governor Pete Wilson. Miller also stands up for the Endangered Species Act in the
controversy over the spotted owl and logging in the Pacific Northwest, and wants to stop logging
m a wide swath of land but provide aid to laid-off loggers; here he will be facing strong pressures,
^nie from his usual allies, for change in the law. On the 1992 energy bill. Miller clashed with
Energy and Commerce Chairman John Dingell while trying to reclaim jurisdiction Udall had let
slip away; Miller wanted to limit nuclear licensing and restrict radioactive storage and
hydroelectric dam development.

Miller's great cause in the 103d Congress is likely to be revision of the Mining Act of 1872. He
got a revision to the floor of the House in 1992 but it went no further. He argues that miners
should pay more for claims staked on government land; many western legislators, including the
eommittee's longtime ranking Republican, Don Young of Alaska, bitterly resent this as
confiscation of private property. Another issue that he may face is Puerto Rico. The New
gressive Party's 1992 victory there means there will be renewed pressure for a referendum on
^ ehood, about which Miller's Democratic mentors have tended to be wary; setting the terms

EIGHTH DISTRICT
Can the future of a city be foreshadowed in the events of a day? On February 20, 1915, Governor
Hiram Johnson and Mayor James Rolph led 150,000 people onto the grounds of the PanamaPacific International Exposition to see the Spanish-Italian baroque style building built on
reclaimed land in what became San Francisco's Marina district. The Exposition ostensibly
celebrated the completion of the Panama Canal, but was clearly intended to show off San
!
Francisco's recovery from the 1906 earthquake. It also spotlighted San Francisco as the central
i
focus of an America that was becoming, with its acquisition of Hawaii and the Philippines and

you examine it closely, could only be American.
San Francisco has been a dynamic city, capable of great growth, carrying the American
tradition of tolerance of diversity to new lengths; it grew from nothing to a major city in the
single year of 1850; its American origins obvious from the regular grids of streets named after
iSI
COC CEI politicians and local developers. The San Francisco of 1915 was proud of the writers who had

pride in the beats of the 1950s North Beach, the hippies who thronged Haight-Ashbury in 1967,
and the gays of the Castro in the 1970s and 1980s. Over the years, San Francisco's booming
economy, based initially on food processing, but now on finance, high-tech and clothing (the

Gap, Esprit) has attracted talented newcomers, weighted increasingly toward those who find its
liberation-minded cultural attitudes congenial.
Politically, San Francisco was a progressive Republican town, like the two men who led the

can influence in the suburbs to the south and east—on the
sunny side of the San Pablo ridge. Concord, currently a
terminus for rapid transit trains, became the county's biggest
city and passed the 100,000 mark in the 1970s. The unrelenting
suburban expansion began altering the political balance. Jimmy
Carter carried the 7th easily in 1976, but it went for Ronald
Reagan in 1980 and 1984. Slowly, Miller too felt the center of
gravity shift. His 61 percent vote share in 1990 was his lowest
since 1974.
But the trend was reversed in 1992. The court-appointed
"special masters" decided that the bayside residents of the 7th
had more in common with their neighbors to the west (in El
Cerrito, on the Alameda County line) and to the north (across
San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay in Solano County). So they drew
into the 7th the cities of Vallejo, Benicia, Cordelia and Suisun
City. These communities, home to farm-support services and
industry, are traditionally Democratic. Although new to Miller in
1992, they gave him roughly a 2-to-l edge over a Republican
challenger from Solano County.
At its new southern limit, the 7th still includes Concord. But
nearly all the other suburban territory has been removed and
added to the 10th Distria, dropping the Republican share of
registered voters in the 7th from 34 percent in 1990 to 24 percent
in 1992.

Bay Area
California Republicans were generally pleased with the courtfashioned redistriaing plan, which seemed to level the state's
political playing field for 1992. But there were exceptions. Some
in the GOP had hoped that the new map would enable them to
go after 18-year House veteran George Miller, the chairman of
the House Natural Resources Committee and the scourge of
western Republicans on water and environmental issues. But the
new map raised Democratic registration in the 7th to 62 percent,
making Miller safer than ever.
The 7th has long been based in Contra Costa County, which
begins at San Pablo Bay, heads south over the San Pablo
Mountains and spreads inland well to the east of Berkeley and
Oakland (see map on page 69). Since World War II, the county
has seen its population swell from 100,000 to 800,000. In
response, the map for the 1990s confines the 7th to those
northernmost portions of the county where the growth is
oldest.
The new 7th still includes the shore of San Pablo Bay,
studded with industrial cities such as Richmond, San Pablo,
Pinole and Martinez. Here, oil terminals, factories and warehouses stretch for miles, belying the region's reputation for
natural beauty. In 1988, sensitive wetlands in Martinez were
soiled by an oil spill. Less than two years later, an explosion at
the Shell Oil refinery rattled windows seven miles away. In this
af the 7th, residents are multiracial (Richmond is nearly
Jf black), predominantly blue collar and heavily DemoHistorically, this Democratic vote was diluted by Republi-

8th District
San
Francisco
i Francisco (natives call it "The City") has been romanticized fqr generations by writers, artists, visitors and residents.
Overrun^with adventurers during the gold rush era, it kept its
reputation^ a rough-and-tumble port city long thereafter. More
recently, it r\as hosted successive waves of counterculturalism,
notably the Beats of the 1950s and the hippies of the 1960s.
Racially, Sa^i Francisco is the second most diverse county in
the nation, after yueens, N.Y. In the past two decades, the city's
well-established Homosexual community has grown larger and
more visible, wielmng greater influence over the city's politics
(the gay vote is estimated at one-fifth of the eleaorate). There
has been some backlash in recent years, particularly among
working-class families\and white ethnic minorities.
But whatever their iWal disagreements, San Franciscans have
little trouble choosing sides in federal eleaions. In 1992, San
Francisco County (which Is coterminous with the city) gave 76
percent of its vote to Bill Ymton, who turned out to be the
weakling of the ticket. SeiW nominees Barbara Boxer and
Dianne Feinstein got 76 percent and 81 percent, respectively.
Seeing both Feinstein and Boxet elected was a point of special
satisfaaion: Feinstein is a former\mayor of San Francisco, and
Boxer represented part of the city throughout her decade in the
House.
The 8th resembles the old 5th, Accept that it comes even
closer to encompassing all of San
icisco within a single
congressional district (see map on page i i). The old 5th did not
include the city's far northwest (includingXthe bridgehead of the
Golden Gate Bridge), which was in the
(centered in Marin
County at the other end of the bridge).
But the map adopted in 1992 reclaimed these seaions of the
city (including Seacliff, Presidio Park and ertvirons north of
Golden Gate Park). Sacrificed instead (this time to the 12th
Distria that adjoins to the south) were the neighborhoods south
of Golden Gate Park and west of Twin Peaks (including the
Sunset, Parkside and Forest Hill distrias).
\
The shift added nearly 50,000 more city residents to the newly
renumbered San Francisco distria, reducing the previous^Democratic share of registered voters by just 1 percentage point) to 64
percent. The removal of the southwestern neighborhoods affeaed the distria's racial mix. Whites accounted for 59 percent
of the old 5th; they constituted 52 percent of the 8th in 1992. In

�supported the V i . ^ ^ ^ w a r , now a senior member of Ways and Means and chairman of ^
Health S u b c o m m ^ ^ ^ M r k first attracted attention when he founded a bank in nearby Walnm
Creek and a t t r a c t e i B | B s i t s from all over the Bay Area by putting a giant peace symbol atopic
headquarters and peace symbols un all checks; while oiher members may use their Bar.kir.j
Committee seats to enrich themselves, he used the riches he got in banking to get to i|i
committee, and from there to Ways and Means. That same puckishness has on occasion goit
Stark into trouble. In 1989, he called H H S Secretary Louis Sullivan "a disgrace to his race"for
supporting Bush Administration health policies; in 1991, Stark attacked "Jewish colleagues"for
voting for the Gulf war resolution "as a matter ol" convenience" to help Israel.
Stark has chaired the Health Subcommittee since 1985. It has not always been rewarding
work. His major achievement was the Catastrophic Health Care Act of 1988, which w s
a
repealed by an overwhelming vote in 1989 after an outpouring of public protest: the problem was
that its tax on high-income social security recipients was highly unpopular while the benefiis
were not appreciated, a reminder that in constructing a healthcare system, even a small mistake
can be politically devastating. In the 102d Congress, Stark had a bill providing universal access
to long-term care to be paid for by a Social Security-type payroll tax and a 2% gross income tax.
For the 103d Congress, he plans to reintroduce a 1992 bill which includes global budgeimg,
establishing an annual national health budget and then compelling care providers to live within
it; this would require close federal regulation, with the government in effect setting maximum
prices for drugs and procedures. He sees cost control as the primary goal, with universal access
to be phased in over time. On access, he would expand Medicaid to cover everyone with double
the poverty income and below, and would establish a "kiddycare" program with insurance for all
children under 19 for a premium of $1,250 a year. Where exactly these plans would go is
unclear; indeed, although Ways and Means Chairman Dan Rostenkowski has often backed
Stark on health issues, he is not interested in lost causes and there could easily be jurisdictional
fights with John Dingell and Henry Waxman of Energy and Commerce, not to mention Hillary
Rodham Clinton. In early 1993, Stark voiced some skepticism over the administration's
proposals on a managed competition approach to health care.

Stark has other items on his agenda. He has succeeded Ron Dellums as chairman of the
District of Columbia Committee and may try to achieve statehood for D C , although it's noi
clear the House will cast a vote thai could make Jesse Jackson and Marion Barry U.S. senators
Stark is an advocate of a carbon tax, to promote energy efficiency and cut the deficit. He has a
bill to abolish F E M A and transfer its emergency functions and budget to the Defense
Department.
The 1990 election, after the Catastrophic Health Care Act repeal, saw Stark's percentages
down to 58%. But redistricting sheared off some Republican territory for the new 10th Distrid
and Stark's constituents were not troubled in 1992 by his 64 overdrafts on the House bank.

The 13th (see map on page 69) is a renumbered version of the
old 9th, which had been sending Pete Stark to the House for 20
years. Although somewhat altered in 1992 redistricting, the
constituency is 58 percent Democratic by registration, exactly the
same as the old 9th.
The old 9th began at Hayward, a city of 111,000 on the shore
of San Francisco Bay. It then tan inland over the San Leandro
Hills to take in the agricultural southeastern portions of Alameda
County. The 1980s transformed these environs, as high-tech
industiy accelerated population growth. So great was the growth
that remapping moved eastern Alameda County en masse into
another distria (the 10th) with suburban Contra Costa County.
Now the distria begins in Oakland, on the bay side of the
Bay ^rea Rapid Transit (BART) tracks just south of San
Leandro Bay. Here the 13th takes in the Oakland Coliseum,
home of the baseball Athletics, and Oakland International
Airpon:. Despite the landmarks, there is relatively little of
Oakland's residential population here. The bayshore is dominated by the freeway, miles of warehouses and older factories—
many of which no longer function.
The first suburb south of Oakland proper is San Leandro, an
Portuguese enclave with a strong blue-collar vote. Once
^ ^ ^ • t e d to Ronald Reagan, the area has returned to the
^ ^ ^ ^ c r a t i c fold—one of many such venues that account for the
turnaround in California's presidential preferences.
Hayward has a large campus of the California State University
78 California
system and mixes business and professionals' office complexes
with the usual East Bay commerce. Farther south along the
multilane traffic crunch of 1-880 is Newark, followed by
Fremont—the East Bay southern terminus for BART and site of
the last operating auto plant in California, a joint venture of
General Motors and Toyota. The distria line coincides with the
eastern limits of these cities, as it does with those of San Leandro
and Hayward. In each case, the limit is reached in the highlands.
The distria no longer reaches into the suburb-dotted interior
beyond the ridges.
At its southern extreme, the 13th crosses the county line into
Santa Clara County and takes in the alluvial mud fiats at the
southern end of San Francisco Bay. This is home to a little less
than 10 percent of the 13th's residents. At the southwestern
extreme, the distria takes in a slice of the old Moffett Field Air
Station, once home to government-operated dirigibles (the
hangars are still visible from the Bayshore Freeway). The
southeastern extreme reaches through the industrial city of
Milpitas and appropriates a seaion of San Jose.
By shedding the eastern reaches of Alameda County, the 13th
lowered the non-Latino white share of population from 64
percent in 1990 to 55 percent in 1992. The black community
remains small and mostly concentrated in Oakland. But in 1992,
nearly two residents in five were either Latino or AsianAmerican.

14th District
Southern San Mateo and Northern Santa Clara Counties
Sustained population growth in the San Francisco peninsula
enabled mapmakers in 1992 to fashion a full distria from
suburbs south of the San Mateo Bridge and north of San Jose. In
the main, the 14th (see map on page 69) resembles the old 12th
Distria. But on the north it has annexed more of San Mateo
County, including Belmont, San Carlos and Redwood City,
whose 60,000 residents make it the distria's second-largest city.
About 40 percent of the distria population is now in San Mateo
County, the rest in Santa Clara County.
At its southern end, the distria has lost the long tail that had
dangled all the way to rural Gilroy and taken in some remote
Santa Cruz County turf along the way. The 14th is more
compaa, with its center in the affluent subutbs on either side of
the San Mateo and Santa Clara county line. Some of these
communities have existed for more than a century, preserving
their individual charaaer despite waves of population growth.
Working hardest to do so are the exclusive enclaves of Atherton,
Woodside and Portola Valley. But Palo Alto, too, has stabilized
its growth and sustained much of its leafy, small-town charm. Its
population of 56,000 does not include the students, faculty and
staff who live on the sprawling, adjacent campus of Stanford
University.
Farther south, change has been more overwhelming in
Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Los Altos and Cupertino. Miles of
fruit groves have given way to high-tech faaories: HewlettPackard, Apple Computer and Ford Aerospace are all in the area;
Lockheed is nearby. With the rise of microprocessing, this
corridor has come to be known as Silicon Valley. Sunnyvale, its
informal capital, grew slowly in the 1980s; but with more than
100,000 residents it is easily the most populous city in the 14th.
The lure of comfy suburbs so close to jobs has kept
peninsula land values climbing for decades. Million-dollar homes
are commonplace, and even ramshackle units come with high
price tags in East Palo Alto and other low-income communities
along the Bayshore Freeway. The old 12th had the highest
median real estate values of any California district in the 1980s.
With its wealth, old and new, this was the Bay Area's one
Republican district in past years, favoring GOP presidential
candidates back to Gerald Ford in 1976. It also sent a succession
of Republicans to Congress, although it preferred the more
moderate-to-liberal variety. But the 14th is different enough, and
1992 was lopsided enough, that no one is likely to call this
distria Republican again soon.

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT
The East Bay is the workaday, unglamorous side of metropolitan San Francisco—the margin of
land perhaps five miles wide between San Francisco Bay and the surprisingly high mountains
lhat rise just to the east. The shoreline is not picturesque, with its Navy bases, docks, airports
and salt evaporators; the skyscrapers of Oakland are unimpressive compared to those of San
Francisco; the Bay Bridge, bisected by Verba Buena Island cuts an inspiring figure, but the San
Mateo Bridge to the south is at best utilitarian. Fifty years ago, when the shipyards of Richmond
and the Navy yard in Oakland were buzzing, the East Bay south of Oakland was still largely
uninhabited farm fields. In the postwar years, it has filled up, one suburb at a time, along Route
17: San Leandro, originally settled by Portuguese, Castro Valley with its Japanese Gardens,
Hayward with its Cal State University campus. Union City with its rail yards, and Fremont with
lhe famous N U M M I auto plant where Chevrolets and Toyotas are produced together and home
of the California School for the Deaf.
The 13th Congressional District of California is made up of this string of East Bay towns,
somewhat more blue-collar than the Peninsula towns across the Bay. The district is racially and
ethnically mixed in the California manner—19% Asian, 18% Hispanic, 7% black—and with a
democratic heritage not yet dampened by high crime (crime rates are much lower here than in
Oakland) or revulsion of cultural liberalism (these people are used to TV newscasts from San
Francisco). This area looks like much of the Bay Area, with stucco houses and shopping centers,
but house prices are below the ridiculously high Bay Area average and the stores are discount
chains rather than Saks. Still, income levels are well above the national average.
The row of East Bay districts from Richmond south to San Jose elect four Democratic
congressmen with a total of 90 years of seniority, and two major committee and four major
ibcommittee chairmanships: left-wing power in the 1990s. The congressman from the 13th
district is Pete Stark, a Democrat first elected in 1972 when he beat an elderly incumbent who

TWENTY-FIRST DISTRICT
Across the southwest United States on U.S. 66, from the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma and Kansas
and Texas they came, in one of the major migrations of the 1930s: the Okies who drove their
jalopies laden with all their worldly goods to the Central Valley of California. In a brown decade,
the Valley seemed green, with its irrigated fields and its eucalyptus-shaded towns. The Okies
drove through the Tehachapi Pass, through the mountains that form a semicircle at the south
end of the Valley, and headed toward the oil boom town of Bakersfield and the farm-market
center of Fresno, amid pastures, vineyards and orchards. This story was told vividly in John

i and Kansas
o drove their
rown decade,
s. l^^Okies
Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, but his vision of the Okies as workers eager to join together
with their fellow proletarians and rise up against their bosses did not get the picture quite right.
More accurate is Dan Morgan's Rising in the West, which shows the strong Pentecostal beliefs
which drove many migrants and, unlike Steinbeck, explains how they prospered in California
and why they, like the southern Central Valley where their descendants are most often found
today, have become politically conservative even in a Democratic year like 1992.
The 21st Congressional District of California is the southernmost district in the Central
Valley. It is centered on Bakersfield, home of country singers Buck Owens and Merle Haggard,
an oil town where southern accents are still common. It is home to huge Edwards Air Force Base
where Chuck Yeager flew the X-l and where the Space Shuttle ordinarily lands. The district's
boundaries are irregular to maximize the Hispanic percentage of the next-door 20th District. As
a result, the 21st includes Bakersfield and most of its immediate surroundings, oilfieldsand
high-income subdivisions, and the Kern County desert and mountains communities west and
cast. It includes the towns of Tulare, Porterville and Visalia in Tulare County and its agricultural
area up to the Sierra Nevada. Politically, this was once Democratic territory in the early 1960s,
when for that matter so was Oklahoma; by the late 1960s, both had become solidly Republican
in national politics, and remain that way today.
The congressman from the 21st District, Bill Thomas, is a senior Republican in the House who
has had the task, and sometimes relished it, of leading his party on some very partisan issues and
now may be one of its leaders on the high-visibility issue of health care as well. Thomas was first
elected in 1978, when Republicans were on the rise, and might have hoped to be in the majority
soon. As ranking minority member on House Administration, it has been his lot to defend party
positions with arguable merit but with no chance of prevailing, whether on the dispute over who
won the Indiana 8th District in 1984 or on the House bank and post office scandals or on
campaignfinancereform in 1990s. On campaignfinance,he has increasingly been more reformminded than the Democrats, for House Democrats who have benefited handsomely from the
current system are loath to give up their advantage. Thomas would restrict PAC contributions
and require that a majority of all individual contributions be raised in the district; this would
leave many Democrats,financedmainly from Washington, New York and Beverly Hills, bereft
of funds. Thomas also passed his bill reducing franked mailings and limiting them to within
members' districts. Still, Thomas is seen as too accommodating by conservative House
Republican leaders, who tried to replace him with Paul Gillmor of Ohio as ranking member on
House Administration in December 1992. But conference members rejected the less senior
Gillmor by a 12 vote margin and Thomas got the post again.
On Ways and Means, he backs "Super IRAs" and a $2,500 first-time homebuyer tax credit.
He is a free trader, backing the North American Free Trade Agreement, and he opposed the
25% tariff on imported minivans approved in 1992. Some of his proposals have a local angle: he
backs geothermal and solar energy tax credits, targeted export assistance for farm products and
application of U.S. quality standards to imported pistachios. He was vociferously opposed to
George Miller's Central Valley Project water bill, much hated in the Valley, and opposes the
Democrats' California Desert bill as too environmentally biased and unbalanced. He successfully blocked what he called a "nightmare" requirement for oil producers to set aside 1% of
production for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Thomas was embarrassed to have 119 overdrafts on the House bank totalling $157,000. But
he did not have serious competition in this heavily Republican district and won easily.

22nd District
Santa Barbara; Santa Maria; San Luis Obispo
Santa Barbara County, with about 370,000 residents, was the
mainstay of the old 19th Distria. It was connected to the Los
Angeles area to the south by Ventura County, which had most
of its land (though not most of its people) in the 19th. The two
neighboring counties shared the calm waters of the Santa
Barbara Channel and the rugged grandeur of Los Padres
National Forest, a 1.7 million-acre preserve spread over several
small mountain ranges running parallel to the coast.
The 1992 redistricting separated these two counties, combining Santa Barbara with San Luis Obispo, its coastline neighbor to
the north. The two counties are topographically similar, separated only by the Cuyama River that runs down from the Sierra
Madre Mountains to the Pacific.
The 22nd takes in all of both counties, except for the coastal
town of Carpinteria just south of Santa Barbara and adjacent
