In this Roll Call article, Daniela Altimari and Mary Ellen McIntire preview the busiest primary day of the 2026 midterm cycle so far, with major House, Senate, and gubernatorial contests in California, Iowa, New Jersey, and several other states.
- Tuesday’s primaries are especially consequential in California, where redistricting has scrambled several congressional races and the state’s top-two primary system means candidates of any party can advance to November.
- In California’s 1st District, Democrats Audrey Denney and Mike McGuire are competing for the newly bluer seat formerly held by the late Rep. Doug LaMalfa, while Republican James Gallagher is favored in a special election under the old district lines.
- Republican-turned-independent Kevin Kiley moved from California’s redrawn 3rd District to the 6th District, while Democratic Rep. Ami Bera shifted into the 3rd, showing how aggressively the new map has altered the chessboard.
- California’s 22nd District remains a high-stakes Central Valley battleground, with Republican Rep. David Valadao facing Democratic challengers Randy Villegas and Jasmeet Bains in a race that could help determine House control.
- In the San Diego-area 48th District, retiring Republican Rep. Darrell Issa’s seat features GOP frontrunner Jim Desmond, backed by Trump and Issa, while Democrats Ammar Campa-Najjar and Marni von Wilpert battle for position.
- The article also notes generational Democratic fights in California, including challenges to longtime Reps. Mike Thompson and Doris Matsui, plus the race to succeed former Speaker Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco.
- California voters will also begin shaping the race to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, with candidates including Republican Steve Hilton and Democrats Tom Steyer and Xavier Becerra.
- In Iowa, Sen. Joni Ernst’s retirement has turned what once looked like a safe Republican Senate race into a potential Democratic pickup opportunity, while Rep. Ashley Hinson is favored for the GOP nomination.
- New Jersey’s primaries include a crowded Democratic race to replace retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman and a battleground 7th District contest to determine who will face Republican Rep. Thomas Kean Jr.
- Other notable primaries are taking place in Montana, South Dakota, and New Mexico, including races to replace retiring Sen. Steve Daines and Rep. Ryan Zinke in Montana.
