Ventura County congresswoman says she'll seek re-election in newly configured district

A congresswoman who’s represented much of Ventura County for close to a decade says she’ll seek re-election in her newly configured district.

Democratic Congresswoman Julia Brownley of Westlake Village has represented the 26^th Congressional District since 2013.

In the wake of the 2020 census, and the redistricting process, there are some changes to the district. The new 26^th District will be about 80% the same as it is now, covering most of Ventura County. But, Ojai and Ventura will shift out of the 26^th District, to the 24^th.

The new 26^th District will get all of Simi Valley instead of the small slice it has now. It will also include the Los Angeles County communities of Agoura Hills and Calabasas.
