It has been represented in the House of Representatives since 2004.[3] San Jose del Monte first elected a single representative city-wide at-large for the 13th Congress following the passage of Republic Act No. 9230 in 2003 which amended the 2000 San Jose del Monte City Charter (Republic Act No. 8797).[4][5] Before 2004, the city was represented in the nation's lower house as part of Bulacan's 4th, Bulacan's 2nd, Bulacan's at-large and Region III's at-large districts.[6] It is currently represented in the 18th Congress by Florida P.
