Pasadena voters in West Pasadena who reside west of the I-210 and north of the I-134 freeways will choose a new Congressional representative for the 30th Congressional District to succeed Representative Adam Schiff, who is running for the U.S. Senate.

The district stretches from West Hollywood to Pasadena and Echo Park to the Angeles National Forest.

Schiff has not made an endorsement.
