I serve the most beautiful district in Congress. Get to know all the vibrant communities I am honored to represent:
San Marcos - San Marcos, a progressive community of more than 95,000 residents, is home to Palomar College and California State University San Marcos. In recent years, the city has experienced rapid growth while consistently ranking as one of the safest cities in California.
Fairbanks Ranch - A gated community just south of Rancho Santa Fe boasts 75 acres of grounds and estates.

Rancho Bernardo - The quaint and quiet community of Rancho Bernardo brings together the best of our culture and history. Home to a variety of world renowned golf courses and country clubs, there are plenty of options to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The community's high school, Rancho Bernardo High School, is also a countrywide hot spot known for producing some of Major League Baseball’s top talent.
4S Ranch - One of the “newest” communities built in San Diego County, 4S Ranch was formerly owned by the Ralphs family, famously known for their grocery chain throughout southern California. The 4S Community has a welcoming, family-friendly attitude with shops for just about anything located right in the heart of the neighborhood and just a short walk from most residents.
Black Mountain Ranch - Located in the northern shadow of its namesake, Black Mountain Ranch was just recently developed to help house our ever growing San Diego community. Home to the neighborhoods of Del Sur and Santaluz, Black Mountain Ranch is a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city, while only being a short drive away.
Rancho Peñasquitos - Named after the first Mexican land grant in San Diego County, Rancho Peñasquitos is nestled nicely right in between Black Mountain and Peñasquitos Creek. The neighborhood of PQ, as it is commonly known, is home to many locally-owned businesses and ample park space where families and friends enjoy their weekends.
