Six California House races that could help determine control of Congress [View all]

CA - 27: Rep. Mike Garcia (R) versus George Whitesides (D)
The district at the northern edge of Los Angeles County’s suburban sprawl was staunchly Republican territory for more than a quarter-century before 2018’s blue wave, when a young, dynamic candidate flipped the seat and helped retake Democratic control of the House.


CA - 47: State Sen. Dave Min (D) versus Scott Baugh (R)
Back in 2022, Republican Scott Baugh narrowly lost to Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine), coming just a few points short of unseating a nationally known Democratic Party superstar backed by her own fundraising juggernaut.


CA - 45: Rep. Michelle Steel (R) versus Derek Tran (D)
First elected in 2020, incumbent GOP Rep. Michelle Steel will be fighting to defend her seat in a C-shaped inland Orange County district that also includes a sliver of L.A. County.


CA - 41: Rep. Ken Calvert (R) versus Will Rollins (D)
This is yet another rematch from 2022, with Democratic former federal prosecutor Will Rollins once again hoping to unseat Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Corona), the longest-serving member of California’s congressional delegation.


CA -13: Adam Gray (D) versus Rep. John Duarte (R)
In a heavily agricultural San Joaquin Valley district that encompasses all of Merced County and parts of Fresno, Madera, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, Republican Rep. John Duarte of Modesto will once again face off against Adam Gray after narrowly vanquishing the Democrat in 2022.


CA - 22: Rep. David Valadao (R) versus Rudy Salas (D)
Once a safely ruby-red Republican domain, California’s 22nd Congressional District is in a part of the San Joaquin Valley that has grown increasingly purple in recent years, with Democrats now holding the registration advantage.
