Talk:California's 5th congressional district

Untitled
This page needs editting althought I'm not sure what to add. The article has two links to Phillip Burton. From what I can take, there is a father Phillip replaced by one of his son's also named Phillip. The second link after John Burton appears to need a new link.

2010 census
This page needs to be completely rewritten. As a result of redistricting subsequent to the 2010 Census, California congressional districts were redrawn and renumbered. The new 5th district now comprises Sonoma, Napa and Lake counties with the current incumbent of the former first district, Mike Thompson, running for reelection — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.117.146 (talk) 12:23 pm, Today (UTC−4)
 * Thank you for your suggestion! It doesn't need to be rewritten, it needs new information added!  This article should reflect the historical borders as well as the new ones.  Don't remove the old, just add the new.  Do you think you can do it?  Be bold!.—GoldRingChip  16:34, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

District boundary
The interactive boundary map shows the district being in the central valley. The smaller image below shows the correct boundary in the northeast Bay Area. Where is the big map getting its data from? How do we fix it? -- SpareSimian (talk) 21:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Ok, this is going to be a mess for Wikipedians maintaining the district pages. California started a "redistricting cycle" in 2020 and the numbering of the districts changed. District 5 will move to the central valley, and the old district 5 will be chopped up into the new districts 4 and 8. Ballotpedia has a pair of nice interactive maps that show the old and new district outlines. Click on a district in either map and the district outline for old and new layouts appears in each map. At top right of the map is the district number. So you can click a spot in the new map to see what the new number will be. I'm going to copy my comment here to the common California district talk page but it's probably a problem for the whole country.
