California's 32nd State Assembly district is one of 80 California State Assembly districts. It is currently vacant following Republican Vince Fong's resignation.

District profile

[edit]

The district is located in the southwestern Central Valley and consists of portions of Kern and Tulare Counties, including the whole Cities of Exeter, Ridgecrest, Tehachapi, Maricopa, and Taft, and portions of the Cities of Bakersfield and Visalia. The Cities of Bakersfield and Visalia were split to balance population while considering communities of interest. This district’s border is impacted by Voting Rights Act obligations in three neighboring districts. The district maintains local communities of interest along the Valley floor. Areas within the district share common social and economic characteristics as well as shared environmental concerns.
