District 36: South Bay icon Rep. Ted Lieu, a Democrat who has grown his national profile since sparring with then-President Trump, faces Republican retired U.S. Navy sailor Joe Collins from South Central Los Angeles, who calls for improving education for children, bringing high-paying jobs to the district and ending homelessness.

District 37: A new member of Congress is guaranteed from this district that stretches from Century City to South Los Angeles and takes in Culver City, Cheviot Hills, Crenshaw District, USC, downtown Los Angeles, and part of Inglewood. State Sen. Sydney Kamlager faces fellow Democrat Jan Perry, a former councilwoman of the Los Angeles City Council from 2001 until 2013. Kamlager is a vice chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus and serves on California Legislative Women’s and California Legislative Technology and Innovation caucuses and serves on legislative committees including Appropriations, Budget and Fiscal Review, and Human Services. Kamlager’s priorities are healthcare, women’s reproductive freedoms, immigration and climate change. Perry, after her time on the L.A. City Council, became general manager of the city’s Economic & Workforce Development Department, and in 2018 became executive director of the Infrastructure Funding Alliance, which advocates for environmentally and fiscally sustainable infrastructure projects. Perry’s priorities include healthcare, immigration, climate change, women’s reproductive freedom and homelessness.
