What's at stake in California's House primaries?
California uses a jungle, or top-two primary system, meaning that everyone from both parties runs in the same primary and the top two advance to the general. Because California is a heavily Democratic state, many elections will be a Democrat vs. a Democrat.
- The special primary election California's 25th district, located in the Simi Valley area, to fill the seat vacated by Rep. Katie Hill with her December resignation from the House. The top two finishers will advance to a special general election on May 12, 2020.
- California's 50th district, a traditionally Republican seat in the San Diego County area, is also holding a crowded jungle primary in the race to replace former Rep. Duncan Hunter, who resigned from office in January after pleading guilty to a federal crime.
- California's 53th district, a safe Democratic seat, is holding a jungle primary to determine the nominees who will run to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Susan Davis.
- There will also be important jungle primaries to watch in some of the seats Democrats flipped in the 2018 midterms, including California's 10th and 21st districts in the Central Valley, and the 39th, 45, and 48th districts overlapping Orange County.
