[constituency_baseline] District summary: California's 29th Congressional District encompasses the north central San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County, including the communities of San Fernando, Sylmar, Pacoima, Arleta, Panorama City, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, and parts of Sun Valley. With approximately 734,777 residents, it is a safe Democratic district (Cook PVI D+40) previously represented by Tony Cárdenas. The district is majority-Hispanic (65%) with 41% of residents born outside the U.S. — one of the highest immigrant populations of any congressional district. The median household income is $75,811 and the poverty rate is 12.8%, with significant economic inequality. Homeownership is low at 40.8% and median home values are $727,000. Only 24.7% of residents hold bachelor's degrees, well below the 33.7% national average. The economy is anchored by healthcare (Providence, Kaiser Permanente), education (CSU Northridge, LA Valley College), retail, and transportation/warehousing. Rivas is the first Latina to represent the district and the only Latina in Congress with a STEM background.

Voted nay on H.R. 5371 (Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 — On Passage) on 2025-09-19: Rivas voted against the continuing resolution during the 43-day government shutdown. Her district has 12.8% poverty rate and significant SNAP-reliant families affected by the shutdown. She later participated in a food drive with the Democratic Women's Caucus distributing meals, stating 'no American should worry about their next meal because of political decisions.' While her vote was aligned with Democratic leadership, the shutdown directly harmed her food-insecure constituents.

Voted nay on H.R. 7567 (Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (Farm Bill) — On Passage) on 2026-04-30: Rivas voted with 200 Democrats against the Farm Bill (224-200). The bill preserved SNAP cuts from the OBBB — directly affecting food-insecure families in her district where the poverty rate is 12.8%. 14 Democrats crossed party lines to support the bill. Rivas's district has negligible agricultural employment, making the vote a straightforward alignment with food-assistance advocacy and party position rather than a cross-pressure scenario.

Voted nay on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 — On Agreeing to the Resolution) on 2026-03-27: Rivas voted against funding DHS/ICE for the third time, calling it a 'hell no' vote against 'an agency to openly and violently carry out Donald Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.' Her district is 65% Hispanic, 41% foreign-born — ICE enforcement directly impacts constituents. She issued multiple press releases condemning ICE operations, whistleblower reports, and calling for reforms. The vote aligned with constituent interest and progressive activist groups. Seven Democrats crossed over to support the bill; Rivas was not among them.

Voted nay on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: Rivas voted with all 212 Democrats against the bill. Her AFL-CIO scorecard rationale cited 'devastating cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other important social safety programs.' However, the bill raised the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000 — directly benefiting homeowners in her district where median home value is $727,000 and CA property taxes are among the nation's highest. The 40.8% homeownership rate means a significant minority of constituents would have received SALT relief. Constituent interest in SALT relief pushed one way; progressive healthcare and safety-net advocacy pushed the other.

Voted nay on S. 5 (Laken Riley Act — On Passage) on 2025-01-07: Rivas voted with the majority of Democrats (156 of 202) against mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with theft or violent crimes. Her district is 65% Hispanic with 41% foreign-born residents — one of the highest immigrant populations of any congressional district. The vote aligned squarely with constituent interest in a district where immigration enforcement directly impacts families and communities. 48 Democrats crossed party lines to support the bill.

[disclosure] The Big Beautiful Bill raised the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000 for tax years 2025-2029. CA-29 has a median home value of $727,000 and a median household income of $75,811, with 40.8% homeownership — meaning a significant share of Rivas's constituents pay California's high state and local taxes and would have benefited from SALT cap relief. Rivas did not issue any public statement addressing the SALT relief trade-off in her Nay vote.
