Note: Congressional, Senate and Assembly districts are shifting, as a result of the California Redistricting Commission.Here's a brief overview of how things could change. .

• Rohnert Park, which in 2001 was clumped in the 6th Assembly District with Sebastopol, parts of Sonoma Valley, Santa Rosa and Marin County, is now separated from Cotati and Petaluma, and looped into District 4 with Napa, parts of Sonoma Valley such as Boyes Hot Springs and large swaths of Sacramento County. The previous district was represented by Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael.

•  Rohnert Park is now grouped in with Senate District 3, which includes Rohnert Park, Cotati, Petaluma and Sonoma on the west side, and stretches east to Sacramento County, south to Vallejo and also includes Napa and Solano counties. The 2001 Senate District 3 looked vastly different than 2011's. It encompassed southern Sonoma County (including Rohenrt Park and Petaluma), Marin County and the eastern part of San Francisco. The 2001 district was represented by Sen. Mark Leno of San Francisco.

• In 2001, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Novato through Marin County to Mill Valley were all in Congressional District 6, which ended at the northern Sonoma County border. But now, Sonoma County is split in half. Rohnert Park is now in Senate District 5, grouped with part of Lake County, Sonoma Valley including St. Helena and Calistoga, Santa Rosa, Cotati, Napa, south to Benicia, Hercules and Martinez. Rep. Lynn Woosley, who currently represents the area, is retiring.
