Pampanga's 2nd congressional district is one of the four congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Pampanga. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916.[3] The district consists of the western Pampanga municipalities of Floridablanca, Guagua, Lubao, Porac, Santa Rita and Sasmuan. It is currently represented in the 19th Congress by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of the Lakas–CMD (Lakas).[4]

Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, it encompassed the eastern Pampanga municipalities of Apalit, Arayat, Candaba, Mabalacat, Magalang, Mexico, Minalin, San Fernando, San Luis, San Simon, Santa Ana, and Santo Tomas.[5] Following the restoration of the Congress in 1987, it was redefined to encompass the western Pampanga municipalities within its current jurisdiction.[6][7]
