[[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Nancy Pelosi]], the former [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|Speaker of the House]], has represented the district since 1993 when the area was redistricted from the {{ushr|California|5|5th Congressional District}}.
The 8th District is one of the most reliably [[United States Democratic Party|Democratic]] districts in the country, though progressive third parties like the [[United States Green Party|Green Party]] often poll well in the district. It is geographically the smallest congressional district in the nation outside of [[New York City]].
The district gave [[John Kerry]] his best performance in [[California]] in [[United States presidential election, 2004|2004]], backing the Democrat with 84.2% of the vote. [[Barack Obama]] continued on this trend in [[United States presidential election, 2008|2008]] when he received 85.22% of the vote in the district while [[John McCain]] received 12.38%.
