Covers
Montclair, Chino, Ontario, Upland. Some of these cities are split between districts, so check your sample ballot.

Check your district: state legislative lines split many cities, and public descriptions of the 2021 maps are incomplete. The cities listed here are the ones at least partly in this district based on the best available descriptions. Your sample ballot, or the county's My Districts lookup, shows which district you are actually in.

Key findings

  • Covers Montclair and much of Chino, Ontario and Upland, plus Pomona in Los Angeles County. [1]
  • Michelle Rodriguez (D, incumbent) faces Rafaela Romero (R). Neither answered KVCR's questionnaire in time. [2]
