Live Election Results: California Attorney General, Treasurer and Other State Races
Real-time results track the Los Angeles mayoral race, the governor’s contest and 14 ballot propositions as California voters decide key statewide offices.
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, California voters elected Democrat Xavier Becerra as governor, making him the first Latino to hold the office since Romualdo Pacheco in 1875.
Governor Gavin Newsom, term-limited after eight years, leaves office following 20 years of Democratic dominance in California, despite Republican Steve Hilton's campaign challenge.
Becerra, a 68-year-old former Secretary of Health and Human Services, will oversee the $750 million film tax credit program, which Governor Newsom recently proposed expanding to $1 billion.
Becerra's victory coincides with broader Democratic successes on Tuesday, as the party took control of the U.S. House of Representatives and secured key wins in Texas and Ohio.
The incoming administration faces pressure to retain Hollywood production, with Becerra arguing that tax incentives remain viable if they generate more than $1 return per dollar spent.
