California Primary Election Results

California uses a nonpartisan blanket primary for its state and federal elections (excluding presidential elections). Every voter gets the same primary ballot and can vote for candidates from any party. The top two vote-getters advance to the general election, even if both are from the same party.

Because of California's voting rules, both the Senate and governor races have more than two dozen candidates, not all of whom will be displayed. See a complete list of Senate and governor candidates. Read more June 5 primary coverage.

Races to watch

District 4 primary: Republican Rep. Tom McClintock is running for reelection. Though he hasn't faced lots of competition in recent elections, four Democrats and one other Republican entered the race this time. D.C. Democrats had signaled backing for Jessica Morse, a former State Department and USAID staffer; her main challenger to reach November appears to be MIT professor Regina Bateson.

District 10 primary: Republican Jeff Denham is running for reelection in this district that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Democrat Michael Eggman lost to Denham in 2014 and 2016; five other Democrats, including investor Josh Harder, entered the race.

District 25 primary: Republican Steve Knight is running for reelection, and four Democrats are seeking a runoff in this district that Hillary Clinton won in 2016.

District 39 primary: This seat is being vacated by retiring Rep. Ed Royce, a Republican. Early on, the DCCC recruited and endorsed Gil Cisneros, a veteran and former Republican who won a lottery jackpot in 2010 and began pouring money into philanthropy — and donations to Democrats. Some challengers simply quit, but most did not, and the primary run has been contentious.

District 48 primary: Republican Dana Rohrabacher attracted several party challengers, including former Orange County GOP chairman Scott Baugh. Democrats took months to officially back one candidate, businessman Harley Rouda. Four other Democrats remain in the race heading into the primary vote.

District 49 primary: This seat is being vacated by retiring Rep. Darrell Issa, a Republican. Among Democrats, the contest began as a battle between unsuccessful 2016 candidate Doug Applegate, a retired colonel, and Mike Levin, a lawyer. But both have been heavily outspent by real estate investor Paul Kerr and Obama administration veteran Sara Jacobs, whose grandfather Irwin co-founded mobile giant Qualcomm. Eight Republicans also made the ballot.
