[constituency_baseline] District summary: California's 50th Congressional District encompasses coastal and central portions of San Diego County, including the cities of Coronado, San Marcos, Escondido, and substantial portions of San Diego proper — stretching from downtown through coastal neighborhoods to inland North County. The district is home to approximately 754,000 residents with a median household income of $120,202 and a median property value of $1.08 million. It is a majority-White district (53.6% Non-Hispanic White) with significant Hispanic (22.3%) and Asian (14.4%) populations. 21.5% of residents are foreign-born. The district is highly educated (60.3% bachelor's degree or higher), with a low poverty rate (5.2%) but a homeownership rate of just 48.7% and median rent of $2,386 — making housing affordability the dominant local economic challenge. Defense is the anchor industry, with major Navy and Marine Corps installations driving thousands of jobs. Professional/Scientific/Technical Services (71,803 workers), Health Care (50,745), and Manufacturing (41,290) are the top employment sectors. The district leans Democratic (D+29 per Legisletter) and has been represented by Peters since 2013 (CA-52 from 2013-2023, CA-50 from 2023-present).

Voted nay_unverified on H.R. 5376 (Build Back Better Act (drug pricing provision in Energy and Commerce Committee markup)) on 2021-09-15: Peters was one of three Democrats who voted against the drug pricing provision, killing the measure 29-29 in committee. His top career donor sector was Pharmaceuticals/Health Products at $1.58 million. His vote protected pharmaceutical industry profits at the expense of consumer pricing relief — directly contradicting his public statements favoring lower drug costs. The district median household income is $120,202 but with a 48.7% homeownership rate and $2,386 median rent, healthcare affordability is a significant constituent concern.
