Democrats Win California Statewide Races in 2026 Midterms
Democrats secured a blue wave in California statewide races while Republican Tom McClintock retained his Congressional seat in District 4.
California voters produced a blue wave in statewide races during the November 3, 2026, midterm elections. Xavier Becerra won the Governor's race with 66% of the vote, and other Democrats including Fiona Ma, Shirley Weber, Malia Cohen, Eleni Kounalakis, Rob Bonta, and Jane Kim are projected to win their respective statewide offices.
In Congressional District 4, Republican incumbent Tom McClintock defeated challenger Michael Masuda. While Democrats dominated the state level, local results in Calaveras County remained predominantly Republican. In a notable local race, Bruce Giudici currently leads the contest for Calaveras County Supervisor District 5 despite having died in August.
California voters approved seven of 14 propositions, passing measures for immunology research and housing affordability while rejecting a proposed one-time tax on billionaires. Calaveras County elections official Rebecca Turner stated that the priority remains counting every eligible ballot, with final results expected to be certified by December 3.
