By ONME News
Join Julia Ann Dudley Najieb and Brigitte Jones as they host the California Politics Now Election Forum featuring the state of California U.S. House of Representative candidates. News hosts first discuss the key races on the ballot for the 2026 primary election June 2, 2026: Districts 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 14, 22, and 48. Thereafter, they review all of the other races.
California US House of Representatives: As of the 118th Congress (2023-2025) and based on the 2020 Census, California has 52 representatives in the United States House of Representatives. This is the highest number of representatives of any state in the U.S.. California previously had 53 representatives but lost one seat following the 2020 Census due to population changes.
According to CalMatters, Democrats hope to leverage voter discontent with President Donald Trump and oust Republicans from control of the chamber. The road to a majority could run through California, where congressional districts were redrawn under Prop. 50. Five seats currently in Republican hands could flip to Democrats. Contests in Central Valley and San Diego County are on national watchlists of closest races in the country.
