California's Proposition 50 Map Delivers: Democrats Flip All Five Targeted House Seats
California's Proposition 50 congressional map passed its first electoral test on November 3: Democrats flipped all five Republican-held House seats the map was designed to target, in Districts 1, 3, 6, 41 and 48.
State Senator Mike McGuire unseated Representative James Gallagher in District 1; Representative Ami Bera won in District 3; Randy Villegas unseated Representative David Valadao in District 6; Representative Linda Sánchez won in District 41; and San Diego City Councilmember Marni von Wilpert flipped District 48. The results cut the Republican share of California's 52-member House delegation to four seats.
Voters approved Proposition 50 in November 2025, authorizing the Legislature to replace the independent commission's map mid-decade in response to Texas's Republican redistricting. Under current law, the map stays in place through the 2030 election, after which the independent redistricting commission resumes drawing the lines for 2032. Counts continue, and final results await certification. (Source: California Secretary of State)
