California's 47th congressional district covers the cities of Garden Grove and Santa Ana and parts of Fullerton and Anaheim, in Orange County. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat, is the current representative of the 47th District and has served since 1996.
The 47th congressional district is one of the few districts in California that does not have an overwhelming majority of voters favoring one party. The district voted for Republican George Bush in 2004 as well as Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, but has also supported Democratic state senators in recent elections. Despite this, Democrat Loretta Sanchez has comfortably won each re-election bid she has sought in the district. It is the only congressional district in Orange County where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans, but the lead is minimal.
