Statewide Races
In California, there are several statewide races to watch and 10 propositions to vote on.
U.S. Senate
A consequential contest to watch will be the race for the U.S. Senate seat long-held by the late Dianne Feinstein. In fact, voters will cast their ballot twice in this race, Nov. 5. They'll choose a candidate to finish out Feinstein's current term and again for the next term, which will begin in 2025.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey are both vying for the seat . Schiff, a progressive favorite in the Golden State, has served as a Democratic congressman here since 2000, representing the state's 30th Congressional District in Los Angeles County.
Garvey, formerly an All-Star for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, advanced in March to the November ballot as a first-time political candidate. Republicans have failed to advance a candidate in two of the last three U.S. Senate races, making Garvey's defeat of Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee, a rare feat for the GOP in blue California.
According to the latest poll from the Public Policy Institute of California, Schiff holds a 28 point-lead (63 percent to 35 percent) over Garvey. Schiff gained widespread name recognition for his role in Donald Trump's impeachment trial. Read more about that race here .
U.S. House
As for congressional races, the state's most competitive contests for the U.S. House seats in California are primarily in three regions — the Central Valley, Orange County and the Inland Empire, according to the Public Policy Institute of California's most recent election report. The competitive races include districts 3, 9, 13, 22, 27, 40, 41, 45, 47 and 49. Currently, the GOP holds seven of these seats. Here's a brief breakdown of the candidates in each competitive area:
State Measures
Of course, it wouldn't be a major election in California if there were not a slew of proposed propositions on the ballot.
There are 10 statewide propositions on the ballot, including two $10 billion bond measures for school construction and to address climate change. There are also two amendments to the state constitution, one which would repeal the unenforceable ban on same-sex marriage and another that would make it easier for bond measures to pass by lowering the voter threshold from the current supermajority needed to approve bond measures.
