In popular culture
- The 30th congressional district plays a role in the first part of season 4 of House Of Cards. Claire Underwood seeks to run for the seat after a disagreement with her husband, the President. The predominately black and Hispanic district is reluctant to back Claire, and she eventually backs down.
