[constituency_baseline] District summary: California's 46th Congressional District encompasses central Orange County including most of Santa Ana, Anaheim, and portions of Orange and Fullerton. With approximately 757,342 constituents, it is a majority-minority district: 65.6% Hispanic, 24.8% White, 15.8% Asian. The median age is 35.1 (significantly younger than the 38.5 national average), with 32% of residents in the 20-39 working-age bracket. Median household income is $89,883 — well above the national median but below surrounding OC districts — with a 9.8% poverty rate. Homeownership is only 42.1%, far below the 65.5% national average, with median rent at $2,122 and median home value at $748,300. Only 22.6% hold a bachelor's degree, and 27.7% lack a high school diploma. 68.6% speak a non-English language at home. The economy is anchored by healthcare, hospitality (Disneyland Resort), retail, and small businesses. The district is car-dependent (70.3% drive alone, 2.3% public transit). Cook PVI rates the district D+27 (Solid Seat). Correa has held this seat since 2017, winning re-election in 2024 with 63.4%. Key issues include immigration policy, healthcare access, education access, and rent burden.

Voted nay on H.Con.Res.14 (House Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Resolution ($4.5 trillion in tax cuts, $1.5 trillion in program cuts)) on 2025-04-10: Correa voted nay. The AFL-CIO opposed this budget as cutting 'funding for critical services that hardworking taxpayers depend upon.' Correa's vote aligned with his district's working-class interests and his 92% AFL-CIO score. The vote was constituent_aligned.

Voted yea on H.R. 6126 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($14.5B emergency military aid after October 7)) on 2023-11-02: Correa voted yea (226-196) on emergency Israel aid one month after the Hamas attacks. Only 12 Democrats supported the bill; Correa was among the small minority crossing party lines. The bill was packaged with IRS cuts. AIPAC is his #3 payor ($16,294). This vote — combined with his support for H.R. 8034 and H.R. 7217 — establishes a consistent donor_aligned pattern on Israel security funding, placing him at odds with the majority of his party on standalone Israel aid vehicles.

Voted yea on H.R. 2550 (Protecting America's Workforce Act (restoring collective bargaining rights for over one million federal workers)) on 2025-12-11: Correa voted yea with 231 members (211 Democrats + 20 Republicans). The AFL-CIO supported this bill. Correa's 91% lifetime AFL-CIO score reflects his generally pro-labor record in a working-class district. The vote is constituent_aligned — though his simultaneous support for crypto deregulation (H.R. 3633, opposed by labor) shows the limits of this alignment.

Voted nay on H.R. 22 (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote)) on 2025-04-10: Correa voted nay, calling it 'GOP-led voter suppression legislation.' The AFL-CIO opposed this bill as creating 'duplicative and burdensome barriers for Americans to access their constitutional right to vote.' His district has only 22.6% bachelor's degree attainment and 27.7% lack a high school diploma — meaning documentation barriers would disproportionately impact his constituents. The vote is constituent_aligned for a working-class, majority-Hispanic district.

Voted yea on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($60.8B military and economic aid)) on 2024-04-20: Correa voted yea with all 210 Democrats (311-112 final). The vote reflected Democratic foreign policy consensus. No donor tension — the vote is constituent_aligned with his district's support for NATO and democratic allies. The primary newsworthiness is the contrast with his Israel votes: Correa votes with his party on Ukraine but demonstrates donor-aligned consistency on Israel across multiple bills.

Voted yea on H.R. 8034 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($26.38B military aid to Israel)) on 2024-04-20: Correa voted yea as part of the 366-58 bipartisan majority. AIPAC routed $16,294 via 25 payments to his campaign — his third-largest payor. Correa had previously called for only a 'temporary ceasefire' and emphasized hostage release rather than conditioning aid. 37 Democrats opposed; Correa was among the 173 who supported. While the comprehensive package included $9B in humanitarian aid for Gaza, his consistent support for Israel aid across multiple bills (H.R. 6126, H.R. 7217, H.R. 8034) aligns with his top foreign-policy donor's legislative priority.

Voted nay on H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act (mandatory immigration detention for theft-related arrests without conviction)) on 2025-01-07: Correa voted nay, firmly opposing 'jailing undocumented individuals for minor offenses before any conviction.' His district is 65.6% Hispanic with 68.6% speaking a non-English language at home — one of the most immigrant-dense districts in the country. 46 Democrats defected to support the bill; Correa held the line. His vote is constituent_aligned: protecting immigrant communities in Santa Ana and Anaheim from mandatory pre-conviction detention.

Voted yea on H.J.Res. 88 (Congressional disapproval of EPA waiver for California's Advanced Clean Cars II rule (EV mandate repeal)) on 2025-05-01: Correa was the only Orange County Democrat and one of only two California Democrats (alongside George Whitesides) to vote with Republicans to repeal California's EV mandate. He cited working-class constituents who can't afford EVs: 'I'm listening to my constituents who are saying don't kill us.' Yet he also told the New York Times he wants the government to tackle climate change and doesn't like 'giving Trump a win.' The vote is cross_pressure: his district's 65.6% Hispanic, working-class population faces high gas prices and EV affordability challenges, while California Democrats and environmental groups view the mandate as essential climate policy. Oil industry lobbying was cited by some Democrats as influencing the vote.

He warned 2.3 million Californians would lose health coverage and thousands of Orange County seniors rely on SNAP. His district has 9.8% poverty and only 42.1% homeownership. The AFL-CIO scored this as voting with working people. This was constituent_aligned: protecting healthcare and food assistance for a working-class, majority-Hispanic district with below-average homeownership and above-average rent burden.
