Prior to his service in Congress, DeSaulnier held positions in the California State Senate, California State Assembly, and the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, bringing decades of public service experience to his role. His district includes a diverse mix of suburban and urban communities, with Castro Valley playing an important role in the East Bay region he represents.
