Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack represents California's 45th congressional district, located in southeastern California in a region known as the “Inland Empire”. Home to the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto National Monument, the 45th District is a virtual microcosm of the state, encompassing a variety of diverse terrain, including deserts, mountains and agricultural space, as well as landmarks such as the Colorado River and the Salton Sea.
The 45th District is home to several major agricultural communities, including the Coachella Valley, the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley, and the Temecula “wine country”. These regions produce crops ranging from citrus and dates to alfalfa and grapes.
In addition to agriculture, tourism is a major driving force in the economy in the 45th District. The world-renowned resort community of Palm Springs and surrounding Coachella Valley desert region is home to more than 100 world-class golf courses, which have become popular destinations for celebrities and former U.S. Presidents. The dry and sunny climate in Palm Springs also makes it a prime spot for tennis players from around the world.
Other industries such as professional and manufacturing businesses also contribute to the economy in the 45th District regions.
The majority of residents within the 45th District reside in the Moreno Valley, the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley, and the Coachella Valley.
