California’s 13th Congressional District

Joe Biden carried this district by 11 points in 2020. But many Democrats didn’t turn out two years later, in an election where just 32% of eligible citizens in the district voted. Republican John Duarte won his seat by just 564 votes, making him one of the most vulnerable members of Congress.

To defeat Duarte this year and hold CA-13 going forward, People’s House recommends that donors support Communities for a New California, a grassroots organizing group that is also working to flip CA-22 and CA-41.

CNC works to build authentic relationships in communities through grassroots organizing and focusing on day-to-day issues that voters care about. It has a strong record of mounting intensive get-out-the-vote drives through in-person canvassing and digital outreach. Its 2024 plans will build on this work to help flip CA-13.
