As a result of California’s 2011 redistricting, two Jewish Democratic incumbent congressmen, Howard Berman (D - Valley Village) and Brad Sherman (D - Sherman Oaks), have both said they intend to run for reelection in the newly drawn 30th congressional district, located in the West San Fernando Valley.
