California's 28th Congressional District spreads from the northern San Fernando Valley, where it takes in the small city of San Fernando and includes the communities of Pacoima, Arleta, Panorama City, Sylmar, and North Hollywood. The southernmost border follows in part the famed Mulholland Drive, taking in Encino, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, Studio City, and the Hollywood Hills at the east end of the Santa Monica Mountains.

The population of the 28th District in 2000 was 56% Hispanic; the central and northern parts are much more Hispanic, while the southern end has a large Jewish population. The district reliably supports Democratic presidential candidates. In 2008, Barack Obama captured the District with 76% of the vote.
