Incumbent Josh Harder (D) and Ted Howze (R) were the top two finishers from among the six candidates who ran in the March 3, 2020, top-two primary for California's 10th Congressional District. The only other candidate with more than 10% of the vote was Bob Elliott (R). Harder and Howze ran in the district's general election on November 3, 2020.

As of the 2020 election, one Democrat and one Republican had advanced from the district's primary in each congressional election since California's top-two primary system went into effect in 2011. Two Democrats and three Republicans ran in addition to Harder.

Media coverage and endorsements focused on three candidates besides Harder: Elliott, Howze, and Marla Livengood (R).

Elliott highlighted what he described as his "experience as a Colonel in the Green Berets, as a business leader in the nuclear energy and homeland security sectors, and as a County Supervisor who has balanced budgets and increased law enforcement funding." Former California Assemblyman Bill Berryhill (R), Combat Veterans for Congress, and SEALPAC endorsed Elliott.

Howze said that if elected he would "address concerns like affordability, housing and cost of living, water for our farmers and ranchers, common sense immigration reform and putting patients first in healthcare." U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Former U.S. Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Calif.), and 2018 California Republican gubernatorial nominee John Cox endorsed Howze.

Livengood stated, "I have been fighting for local Agriculture all of my adult life and it will be a top priority when I get to Congress." She received endorsements from the San Joaquin County Republican Party and the Federal Wildland Fire Service Association.

Harder said, "Half our community voted for Trump. Half didn’t … We have to find ways to work together. I’ve tried to live that by example." Former President Barack Obama (D) and U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) endorsed Harder.

Mike Barkley (D) and Ryan Blevins (D) also ran in the primary.

In the 2018 general election, Harder defeated Jeff Denham (R) 52% to 48%. Major race rating outlets rated the general election as Lean Democratic or Likely Democratic. The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was EVEN, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were within 1 percentage point of the national average.

Campaign themes

Campaign themes were available on the following candidates' campaign websites as of February 27, 2020.

Josh Harder

Harder's campaign website stated the following:

“	Fight for Health Care in the Valley I will continue my work to improve our health care system, not devastate it by: Lowering costs Insurance premiums on the ACA marketplace in Stanislaus County rose 24% in 2018. We must provide short-term relief by increasing competition on the marketplaces by letting people buy into Medicare, curtailing prescription drug prices, and bringing more people into the marketplace. America spends far more on health care than any other country, but we’re less healthy. The big drug companies jack up prices on life-saving medicines that can be bought for a fraction of the cost in Canada. And for too many working people, premiums, co-pays, and deductibles are so expensive that they can’t even afford to use the insurance they have. It’s time to attack high costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and doing more to pay providers for the quality of care, not just the volume. Expanding access San Francisco has almost twice as many doctors per capita as the Central Valley. I hear from folks all the time about the lack of doctors in the Valley. That’s why I’m working to make sure we attract more doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals right here in our community. I also believe long term we should double down on the part of our health care system that works best by opening Medicare up to all Americans. Fair and humane immigration reform The Central Valley is a land of immigrants. We have over 10,000 Dreamers in our community who are our friends, classmates, and neighbors - they’re American in every way but on paper We should be providing them a pathway to citizenship. I was proud to cosponsor and vote to pass the Dream and Promise Act to help provide a pathway to citizenship for our Dreamers. I’m also proud to be leading legislation like the ENLIST Act, which says that if you serve in our Armed Forces, you should be able to work towards citizenship. I know we can help our Dreamers, we just need the political will do it. I also believe we need comprehensive immigration reform that includes securing our borders. We must make real investments in enhanced technology at our southern border and at our ports to protect our country from drug smugglers and human traffickers. That’s why I voted for $13.8 billion to provide more border security technology and enforcement officers. We have to keep our country safe, and we must do it in a humane way that upholds our values. Fighting corruption Corporate greed and Super PACs are corrupting our political system. Corruption in DC stands in the way of getting some of the most important things done like lowering prescription drug costs. I was proud to help lead the For the People Act - the most sweeping anti-corruption bill since the Watergate Era. We need to clean up our election system and make Congress work for our families, not special interests. In fact, the first piece of legislation I wrote and passed through the House cracks down on lobbying and makes sure our government works for the people. I also introduced the No Health Care, No Raise Act to guarantee Congress doesn’t get a raise until every person in our country has health care. Create quality public schools for all Valley kids I went to public schools in Turlock and Modesto (go Panthers!), and I firmly believe in the power of public education to create opportunity, because that is what it did for me. I am committed to ensuring that every child in the Central Valley has access to a world-class education to prepare them for any future. Now, the same public schools that gave me a head start are threatened by Secretary Devos and the Trump Administration. I will: Work to make trades education more accessible to show our kids that a four year degree isn’t the only path to the middle class Fight against the Trump and DeVos scheme to privatize our education Work to modernize our schools not only with new technology but also investments in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) and computer science. Fight to increase teacher pay Ensure access to affordable, equitable, high-quality universal pre-kindergarten education. Fight to make college more affordable and accessible. Too many students are crippled with high debt loads right as they start their careers. I will fight to make community college and vocational training programs tuition-free and invest in our public universities so more students have access. Build a sustainable water future for the Central Valley Water has been the critical issue for our community since my great-great-grandfather began farming in Manteca more than 170 years ago, and we will never solve our problems by shipping it to Southern California. For too long, politicians have haggled over our water crisis instead of working to solve it. My first bill in Congress was the SAVE Water Resources Act, a real 21st Century solution to solving our water issues. Working with Republicans and Democrats, I wrote this bill to make sure we’re securing and growing our water supply to get ready for the next drought. I’ve also introduced bipartisan legislation to bring more money to water research. This isn’t a problem that’s going to be solved by doing things the way we always have - we’re in a time of record droughts and need new innovative solutions to guarantee we have water for our families and our farmers. Create more good jobs for the Valley I’m tired of seeing the Valley’s economy fall behind. Our unemployment rate is double the unemployment rate in the Bay Area. In my business career, I helped entrepreneurs and small businesses develop their ideas and create high-paying jobs. As your Representative, I’ve worked to help small businesses and working-class Americans have the opportunities they need to be successful. I’m focused on: Building on our success in agriculture by working to make the Valley the agricultural technology capital of the nation Working to make college and technical training programs more affordable and accessible in the Valley Investing in infrastructure so new companies have a strong foundation and so we get our commute times down Funding apprenticeship programs that teach students the skills local companies need. We need to make sure our graduates have pathways to careers that have a future. Veterans My grandfather served two tours in Vietnam and Korea, and I grew up hearing stories about his tours abroad. I understand the need to take care of veterans like my grandfather who served and sacrificed to protect our country. We need to make it easier to get VA care, invest in job training, and expand job placement services for veterans. I’ve worked to provide our troops with high quality mental health care and substance abuse treatment while they serve and after they come home. In Modesto especially, too many of the men and women who serve our nation don't get the care they need. I’ve worked to pass legislation that will support our Blue Water Vietnam Veterans and to help veterans experiencing mental health crises. I’ve also helped dozens of veterans solve issues with the VA. Protect our environment The Central Valley has some of the most productive soil and land in the world. I believe we must be good stewards of our water, air, and land resources to make sure their use is conserved for the next generation. Like many of our kids in the Central Valley, I grew up with childhood asthma because of our high air pollution. We can and must improve our adherence to clean air and water standards and invest in our children’s health. I strongly believe in the scientific consensus that climate change is real and man-made. I will fight back against the Trump Administration’s dangerous attempts to undo international agreements on climate change like the Paris Climate Accord. We also must go further, we must incentivize investments in clean energy sources and move away from polluting fossil fuels. The fastest growing industry in our nation is wind energy and solar’s not far behind - the future of our economy is in green energy. I believe the Central Valley can lead the way and create the good-paying jobs right here at home. Housing and homelessness Washington has not taken the housing crisis seriously. Our rents keep going up and up in the Valley - in Modesto they’ve shot up more than $400 in the past five years. We need more affordable housing so our families can live the American Dream. We also know that homelessness is a huge problem in our communities. I believe we must tackle this problem head on. I am a proud co-sponsor of the Fighting Homelessness through Housing and Services Act, which not only provides funding for transitional housing, but will also tackle its root causes by investing in mental health and substance abuse services and provide job training opportunities for our homelessness neighbors.	”

Ryan Blevins

Blevins' campaign website stated the following:

“	FREEDOM DIVIDEND Alaska has set up the Alaska Permanent Fund, which is a form of Universal Basic Income. Every year the oil is taxed and redistributed to the people in the form of a $2000 check. The freedom dividend will tax data, technology and luxury items to give everyone $1000 a month. This policy is estimated to grow the GDP by about 12%. MODERNIZE OUR EDUCATION When young adults graduate high school they are not prepared to enter the workforce. We need to implement a K-14 schooling system that includes courses on technical skills and engineering to provide a smoother transition into the workforce. END THE WARS The United States is currently at war in 8 different countries. Costing 507,000 lives (mostly innocent civilians) and 6 trillion dollars ($6,000,000,000,000) since 2001. The only thing these wars have accomplished in these past 18 years is making our enemies stronger. MEDICARE FOR ALL The United States is the only modern country that doesn’t guarantee healthcare to its citizens. Have you ever rationed medication or delayed an appointment because you couldn’t afford it? For citizens in Canada, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and many others; that is unthinkable. CLIMATE CRISIS Stanislaus County receives a billion dollars of revenue per year from agriculture of almonds. Our scientists are saying that our crop yields are expected to drop by 40% within the next 3 decades. This is unacceptable, but it’s not too late. We can prevent or slow down a climate crisis by investing in advanced technologies.	”
—Ryan Blevins' campaign website (2020)

Marla Livengood

Livengood's campaign website stated the following:

“	Health care that works for us, not special interests As a fulltime working mother, I know how hard it can be to make ends meet. Like many families, our biggest expense is health care. Unfortunately, Congress has favored a one-size-fits-all approach to health care which has significantly increased costs. We need to allow people to purchase health care that suits their needs, as opposed to being forced into high priced comprehensive plans. Veteran’s should also be afforded health care options, outside the VA network, that are both patient focused and market-based. Ensuring our Farmers have a advocate in Congress My family and farmers across the Central Valley continue to face challenges because of poor representation in Congress. These challenges are compounded as Sacramento and Washington, DC attempt to cripple our $6 Billion Agriculture Industry. In fact, many crops are no longer feasible to grow, leading us to rely on foreign countries to provide them. I have been fighting for local Agriculture all of my adult life and it will be a top priority when I get to Congress. We must ensure trade deals are fair and create an effective ag guest worker program. As a matter of national security, we must also ensure access to water by protecting water rights, while building and maintaining new storage. Reforming education to meet students’ needs As a mother, with three kids in local public schools, I understand the frustration with the public education system. While my kids have been blessed with good schools and teachers, many families are not so fortunate. This is why I support a choice in education initiative. This will allow parents to take their hard-earned tax dollars and choose the school that best fits their child’s needs, including public, private, charter or home. We must also reform the federal student lending structure that has enabled colleges and universities to raise tuition costs at alarming rates. These increases primarily go to line the pockets of chancellors and professors that make high six or seven-figure salaries. Unfortunately, many students graduate with crippling debt and a degree that barely covers it. This is why I will facilitate vocational education institutions that teach students a trade to provide for themselves and their family.	”

Primaries in California

California uses a top-two primary system, in which all candidates appear on the same ballot. The top two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, move on to the general election. In states that do not use a top-two system, all parties are usually able to put forward a candidate for the general election if they choose to.

Unlike the top-two format used in some states (Louisiana and Georgia special elections for example), a general election between the top-two candidates in California occurs regardless of whether the top candidate received 50% of the vote in the first round of elections.

As of June 2025, California was one of five states to use a top-two primary system, or a variation of the top-two system. See here for more information.

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

What's at stake in the general election?

U.S. House elections were held on November 3, 2020, and coincided with the 2020 presidential election. All 435 House districts were up for election, and the results determined control of the U.S. House in the 117th Congress.

At the time of the election, Democrats had a 232-197 advantage over Republicans. There was one Libertarian member, and there were five vacancies. Republicans needed to gain a net 21 seats to win control of the House. Democrats needed to gain seats or lose fewer than 14 net seats to keep their majority.

In the 2018 midterm election, Democrats had a net gain of 40 seats, winning a 235-200 majority in the House. Heading into the 2018 election, Republicans had a 235-193 majority with seven vacancies.

In the 25 previous House elections that coincided with a presidential election, the president's party had gained House seats in 16 elections and lost seats in nine. In years where the president's party won districts, the average gain was 18. In years where the president's party lost districts, the average loss was 27.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

District analysis

See also: FiveThirtyEight's elasticity scores

The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was EVEN, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were within 1 percentage point of the national average. This made California's 10th Congressional District the 198th most Democratic nationally.

FiveThirtyEight's September 2018 elasticity score for states and congressional districts measured "how sensitive it is to changes in the national political environment." This district's elasticity score was 1.08. This means that for every 1 point the national political mood moved toward a party, the district was expected to move 1.08 points toward that party.
