California's 28th State Assembly district
American legislative district
California's 28th State Assembly district is one of 80 California State Assembly districts. It is currently represented by Democrat Gail Pellerin of Santa Cruz.
District profile
The district is currently located in the southwestern corner of Silicon Valley and consists mainly of middle-income and affluent residential communities and neighborhoods. Like other districts in Silicon Valley, the district is also home to the headquarters of many tech corporations.
Prior to the 2021 redistricting, District 28 covered a smaller area further north into Silicon Valley, largely comprising Los Gatos, Campbell, Saratoga, Cupertino, and parts of downtown San Jose. Its current profile was at that time covered by District 29, which similarly included Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, and parts of Morgan Hill, but extended further south along the coast to Monterey.
