This seat was vacant following the resignation of Democrat Eric Swalwell, who was re-elected with 67.8% of the vote in 2024. He chose not to run for reelection, instead running as a frontrunner in the 2026 California gubernatorial election before suspending his campaign on April 12, 2026, following sexual assault allegations from multiple women. Following calls from fellow members of Congress, Swalwell resigned from Congress on April 14, 2026.

The special election to replace Swalwell was held on June 16, 2026, with a runoff round on August 18, 2026. Wahab was declared the winner of the special election, and took office on September 2. She is the first Afghan American member of the United States Congress.

The regular primary election was still held on June 2, 2026. The regular general election will still be held on November 3, 2026.

Interactive map version

The incumbent is Republican David Valadao, who was re-elected with 53.4% of the vote in 2024.

Primary

Campaign

In the June 2026 top-two primary, the principal Democratic candidates were Villegas and Jasmeet Bains, a physician and member of the California State Assembly. Bains was endorsed by numerous state party officials and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), an unusual intervention by the national party in a contested primary. The DCCC's endorsement caused severe disagreement within the Democratic Party. Progressive Democrats criticized the DCCC's intervention and said "voters should pick nominees", including Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar, and Maxwell Frost, while the DCCC argued that Bains was well positioned to defeat Valadao in the general election. The primary was often framed as a battle between the party's "establishment" and "progressive" wing. Outside groups spent more than $2.2 million on advertising against Villegas during the final month of the primary, including organizations associated with centrist Democrats, the Republican Party. The pro-Israel organization Democratic Majority for Israel alone spent over $500,000 against Villegas.

Villegas campaigned as a progressive and left-wing economic populist, with the Associated Press calling him a "populist insurgent". His campaign emphasized the cost of living, health care, labor rights, public education, immigration reform, and opposition to corporate influence in politics. Villegas was endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dolores Huerta, Ro Khanna, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and the California Working Families Party. Despite the DCCC's support for Bains, Villegas secured a key endorsement from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

In the June primary results, Valadao finished first with 40.7%, Villegas second with 32.4%, and Bains third with 26.9%. Valadao and Villegas advanced to the general election. Villegas' win against Bain was a major "anti-establishment" upset, which CalMatters described as a "stunning rebuke of establishment politics" After the primary, Democratic elected officials who had supported Bains endorsed Villegas for the general election. In June, some progresive members of Congress threatened to withhold their dues from the DCCC unless it changed course. In September, the DCCC endorsed Villegas. Villegas is a rare outspoken progressives in a competitive swing seat, and hopes to energize working-class voters with a progressive, economic populist agenda. In September, Bernie Sanders campaigned for Villegas.
