California's 12th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of California.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, has represented the district since January 2013.

Currently, the 12th district is entirely within the city of San Francisco.^[3]

Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the 12th district consisted of portions of both San Mateo County and San Francisco.

History

When the 12th Congressional District was created after the 1930 Census, it was located in Los Angeles County. As California's population grew, however, the district generally shrank in area and progressed northward, eventually reaching the San Francisco peninsula (California political districts are generally numbered from north to south^[4]).

Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, represented this district from 1947-1951. Nancy Pelosi, the 60th Speaker of the House, is the current representative of this district.
