GOP sees mixed results in California congressional races
Several Republican incumbents led or trailed as Proposition 50 redrew districts and voters weighed healthcare and cost-of-living issues, AP tallies showed.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, California voters participated in midterm elections across redrawn congressional districts, with incumbents Rep. Adam Gray and Rep. Ken Calvert appearing to lead as ballot counts continued late into the night.
- Mid-Decade redistricting under Prop 50 significantly altered California's congressional map, forcing incumbents into new territories and creating competitive races between candidates previously separated by geography or party lines.
- Rep. Adam Gray defeated Kevin Lincoln II in the 13th District with 60.7% of the vote; Rep. Ken Calvert led Rep. Young Kim 54% to 46% in the 40th District.
- In the 6th District, Democrat Richard Pan led Independent Kevin Kiley while criticizing the Republican Congress for passing H.R. 1, which he claimed stripped healthcare from millions of Californians.
- With 99.2% of precincts reporting in key areas, California's delegation—currently composed of 43 Democrats and 8 Republicans—remains a critical focal point that could shift the balance of power in the U.S. House.
