The district previously included all of Stanislaus County and part of San Joaquin County. It was centered on Modesto. Cities in the district included Oakdale, Manteca, Modesto, Tracy, and Turlock.[3]
Redistricting before the 2022 elections moved the district to the San Francisco Bay Area. It includes the cities of Concord, Walnut Creek, Danville, San Ramon, Brentwood, and southern Antioch in Contra Costa County, and eastern Dublin in Alameda County. It was essentially the successor of the old 11th district.[4]
History

Perspective
Until 2012
Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission going into effect in 2012, the 10th district stretched from Livermore to Dixon and the outskirts of Vacaville. It consisted of portions of Alameda, Contra Costa, Sacramento, and Solano Counties.
Following redistricting in 1992, the 10th district was based in the East Bay, and included parts of Alameda and Contra Costa counties. It received national attention in 1996 when Democrat Ellen Tauscher defeated incumbent Republican Bill Baker in what was considered an upset.[5]
In the 2002 redistricting of California, all seats were made safe[6] for the parties of incumbent officeholders. The district boundaries were extended to include parts of Solano County, southwestern Sacramento County, eastern Contra Costa County and El Cerrito in western Contra Costa County. Although much of the suburban Tri-Valley region was shifted to the 11th congressional district, the city of Livermore remained in the 10th at Tauscher's request (as a member of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, she had some oversight responsibilities over the U.S. Department of Energy, and hence indirectly of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory).
On June 26, 2009, Tauscher resigned her seat to be sworn in as Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security.[7][8][9] In the ensuing special election held on November 3, 2009, former Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi won the seat over Republican David Harmer 53.0% to 42.7%. Immediately following redistricting, Garamendi successfully ran for re-election in California's 3rd congressional district, which shares many municipalities with the 2002 version of the 10th district (e.g. Vacaville and Fairfield), but lies significantly northwest of the current 10th district.
2012 – 2022
The 10th congressional district starting with the election of 2012 and lasting through the election of 2020 included all of Stanislaus County (including Ceres, Oakdale, Modesto, Riverbank, and Turlock) and the southern portion of San Joaquin County (including Tracy and Manteca).[3]
This went into effect in 2012, as the result of redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission. This version of the 10th included much of the core of the old 18th district (Modesto, Ceres, and the southwestern half of Stanislaus County), though the 18th also included a substantial portion of Stockton. It also shares much of the northwestern portion of the old 19th district (Turlock, Riverbank, Oakdale, and the rest of northeastern Stanislaus County).
Republican Jeff Denham transferred from the prior 19th district to the newer 10th. He held it for three terms until being defeated in 2018 by Democrat Josh Harder, who won reelection in 2020.
After 2022
The 10th district was redrawn in time for the 2022 election, being divided up between California's 5th congressional district (which now includes eastern portions of Modesto and eastern portions of Turlock), California's 9th congressional district (which is centered on Stockton, California and includes Tracy), and California's 13th congressional district (which includes western Modesto and western Turlock) .[10] The 2022 10th district incumbent Josh Harder was reelected and moved to the new version of California's 9th congressional district. The district has been represented since Jan 3, 2023 by Mark DeSaulnier.
