I think Compton is just a small part of her district.

You’re right. It also extends into South Central L.A. (Sometimes referred to as Gang Land)

Mad Max has always represented the California 35th Congressional District in what used to be called South Central L.A. (but is now just called South L.A. to avoid the negatives that South Central evokes). Compton is not now, and never was, in her district.

As South Central became heavily Hispanic in the late 1990's, Mad Max was in danger of losing her once safe seat. So, during redistricting in 2001, our Marxist legislature expanded the 35th CD west and south to pick up some of the areas where blacks fled the Hispanics.

Here's a map of the current 35th CD.
