U.S. House of Representatives, District 16

Why does this race matter? 

U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo’s decision not to seek reelection after more than three decades in Congress opened up this reliably liberal Silicon Valley seat, covering communities from Pacifica to San José.

What does a U.S. representative do?

Representatives are your local community’s voice in the U.S. House of Representatives. Members of congress write and vote on bills, including the federal budget.
