California's 56th State Assembly district is one of 80 California State Assembly districts. It is currently represented by Democrat Lisa Calderon of Whittier.
The district encompasses portions of southeastern Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley. The district is primarily suburban, socioeconomically diverse and majority Latino with a growing Asian population.
Due to redistricting, the 56th district has been moved around different parts of the state. The current iteration resulted from the 2021 redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission.
