Gallagher won with about 62% of the vote and will serve the remainder of Doug LaMalfa’s term before facing Mike McGuire again in November.
- On Tuesday, Republican Assemblyman James Gallagher won the special election to complete the late Congressman Doug LaMalfa's House term, securing 62.6% of the vote.
- Gallagher also leads the primary for the full 2-year term with 47.2% of the vote and will face Democrat State Senator Mike McGuire in the November 3 midterm election.
- Following the results, McGuire stated voters are tired of the Trump administration's "chaos, corruption and cruelty," while Gallagher emphasized "health care issues" and "cost of living issues."
