加利福尼亚州选民周二投票选出未来两年的美国众议院议员。加州实行前两名初选制，即初选中得票最多的前两名候选人进入大选，不论党派。这个“金州”拥有高达52个国会选区，是全美各州中最多的。目前，该州国会代表团由43名民主党人、8名共和党人和1名无党派人士组成，这名无党派人士是一名前共和党人，仍与共和党党团一起行动。
Californians on Tuesday vote for their U.S. representatives for the next two years. California has a top-two primary system where the two leading vote-getters in the primary advance to the general election, regardless of party. The Golden State is home to a whopping 52 congressional districts, the most of any state in the country. The congressional delegation is currently split among 43 Democrats, eight Republicans and one independent, a former Republican who still caucuses with the GOP.
然而，选民在2025年通过第50号提案后，选区边界发生了重大变化，该提案由即将卸任的州长加文·纽森（民主党）主导，预计本次选举将为民主党争取到数个席位。在第1选区，该选区涵盖北加利福尼亚州的大部分地区，共和党众议员詹姆斯·加拉格尔正在争取完整任期，他今年早些时候在一次特别选举中获胜，接替已故众议员道格·拉马尔法。
However, the district lines were significantly changed after voters passed Proposition 50 in 2025, an effort led by outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), which is expected to net several seats for Democrats this election. In the 1st District, which covers much of Northern California, Republican Rep. James Gallagher is fighting for a full term after winning a special election earlier this year to replace the late Rep. Doug LaMalfa.
然而，那次特别选举是在旧选区划分下举行的。州参议员迈克·麦圭尔（民主党）在那场竞选中排名第三，与加拉格尔一起在6月的初选中进入大选，并被看好能为民主党赢得该席位。两届众议员凯文·基利（无党派）正在新的第6选区参选，他于2024年在第3选区以约55%的得票率连任。今年早些时候，基利宣布自己成为无党派人士，但仍将与众议院共和党党团一起行动，他引用了对党派之争的不满以及第50号提案的通过。
However, that special election was held under the old district lines. State Sen. Mike McGuire (D), who came in third in that race, advanced to the general in the June primary alongside Gallagher and is favored to flip the seat for Democrats. Two-term Rep. Kevin Kiley (I) is running in the new 6th District after winning reelection in 2024 in the 3rd District with about 55 percent of the vote. Earlier this year, Kiley announced he was an independent but would still caucus with House Republicans, citing frustrations over partisanship and after the passage of Proposition 50.
他的民主党对手是前州参议员理查德·潘，在萨克拉门托地区的选区参选。在以圣华金谷为基础的第22选区，共和党众议员大卫·瓦拉多正在争取连任。他自2013年以来一直在国会任职，除了2018年输给TJ·考克斯后的一届任期外，他在2020年迅速夺回了该席位。他的民主党对手是进步派人士兰迪·维尔加斯。
His Democratic opponent is former state Sen. Richard Pan in Sacramento-area district. In the San Joaquin Valley-based 22nd District, Republican Rep. David Valadao is fighting to secure another term. He's been in Congress since 2013, except for one term following his loss to TJ Cox in 2018, which he quickly reversed in 2020. His Democratic opponent is progressive Randy Villegas.
他在初选中击败了州众议员贾斯米特·贝恩斯，后者是一名更温和的候选人，并获得了众议院民主党竞选机构的支持。由于现任众议员达雷尔·伊萨（共和党人）在第二次国会任期后退休，圣地亚哥地区第48选区将在新的一年迎来新的代表。圣地亚哥县监督员吉姆·德斯蒙德（共和党人）和圣地亚哥市议员玛妮·冯·维尔珀特（民主党人）在6月的初选中进入大选，选举预测人士将该竞选评为势均力敌或略微倾向民主党。投票站将于东部标准时间晚上11点关闭。
He defeated state Assembly member Jasmeet Bains, a more moderate candidate who was backed by the House Democrats' campaign arm, in the primary. With incumbent Rep. Darrell Issa (R) retiring after his second stint in Congress, the San Diego-area 48th District will have a new representative in the new year. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond (R) and San Diego City Councilmember Marni von Wilpert (D) advanced to the general election in the June primary, with election handicappers rating the race as a toss-up or leans Democratic. Polls close at 11 p.m. EST.
