John Scott Duarte (/duˈɑːrt/ doo-AR-tay; born September 9, 1966) is an American politician, businessman, nurseryman, and pistachio farmer.[1][2][3] A member of the Republican Party, he has served as the U.S. representative for California's 13th congressional district since 2023.[4]

California's 13th congressional district was considered a competitive race that would help determine control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections.[5] His election was the second-closest in the nation, behind Lauren Boebert's election in Colorado's 3rd congressional district.[6]
