House elections for the 117th U.S. Congress
See also: 2020 California elections
The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in California was held on November 3, 2020, to elect the 53 U.S. Representatives from the state of California , one from each of the state's 53 congressional districts . The elections coincided with the 2020 U.S. presidential election , as well as other elections to the United States House of Representatives , elections to the United States Senate , and various state and local elections .
This is the first general election since 1994 where a Republican defeated an incumbent House Democrat in California. This year, despite the statewide dominance by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden , a record-breaking number of Republicans defeated Democratic House incumbents: Young Kim defeated Gil Cisneros in District 39 , Michelle Park Steel defeated Harley Rouda in District 48 , and David Valadao defeated TJ Cox in District 21 to reclaim his old seat. This happened even as Democrats won the statewide combined House vote by a wider margin than Biden.[1] Mike Garcia also defeated Christy Smith in District 25 to retain the seat he flipped in the May 12 special election to fill the seat vacated by Katie Hill .[2]
