Is Tracy too liberal? Republicans try to cut city out of tossup California district

WASHINGTON -- Groups of right-leaning San Joaquin Valley residents and farming families want to make one Democratic congressional district just a bit more Republican as the state prepares to redraw its legislative boundaries.

The changes they want would tilt the 10th Congressional District away from Democratic Rep. Josh Harder, who has held the Modesto-centered district since the 2018 midterm when he unseated Republican Rep. Jeff Denham.

One plan submitted by San Joaquin County farmers to California’s nonpartisan redistricting commission might make Harder’s district more Republican by stripping it of southern San Joaquin County commuter cities like Tracy.

San Joaquin County in that proposal would have its own congressional district, which likely would lean Democratic because it would contain Stockton, while Republicans likely would gain a Modesto-centered seat.
