June 2 top-two primary
Ballotpedia identified the June 2 top-two primary as a battleground primary. For more on the top-two primary, click here.
Eight Democrats, two Republicans, and one independent are running in the top-two primary for California's 11th Congressional District on June 2, 2026. As of March 2026, Saikat Chakrabarti (D), Connie Chan (D), and Scott Wiener (D) led in fundraising, endorsements, and local media attention.[2][3]
Incumbent Nancy Pelosi (D) is not running for re-election. Mission Local's Joe Eskenazi said: "Nobody still in the business has run a real San Francisco congressional race. Pelosi has held this seat since 1987. There hasn’t been a serious and competitive race for two generations."[4] As of March 2026, Pelosi had not endorsed any of the candidates.
Chakrabarti is a former software engineer and staff member for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D). Chakrabarti co-founded Justice Democrats after the 2016 presidential election.[5] In his Candidate Connection survey, Chakrabarti said he was running because "San Franciscans are being crushed by the cost of living and betrayed by leaders who are too comfortable in power to fight for us."[6] Eskenazi said, "Chakrabarti’s lane is narrow...[he is] in the unusual position of appealing to San Francisco voters who gravitate to national left-wing politics without yet having the backing of San Francisco voters who gravitate to San Francisco left-wing politics."[4] Former Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D) endorsed Chakrabarti.[7]
Chan is a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Before her election in 2020, Chan worked in the city government, including as a staffer for then-District Attorney Kamala Harris.[8] Chan says she is running "for all the people who feel like they’re getting priced out of their own city. I’m running for those who are under attack by the Trump Administration."[9] Eskenazi said Chan's potential base of support includes "Asian/Chinese voters, the Westside and then an assortment of Great Highway refuseniks, disgruntled neighborhood dwellers and others who are chafing against what used to be referred to as 'Downtown.'"[4] Sen. Adam Schiff (D) endorsed Chan.[10]
Wiener is a member of the California Senate. Before his election to the Senate in 2016, Wiener served for five years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.[11] Wiener says he is running "to defend San Francisco, our values, our people, and the Constitution of the United States with everything I have."[12] Eskenazi said Wiener "has a stronghold in District 8, the neighborhood that consistently has the highest voter turnout, and is also the only significant moderate or LGBTQ candidate in the race."[4] California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) endorsed Wiener.[13]
Also running in the primary are John Buffler (D), Keith Freedman (D), Omed Hamid (D), Gregory Haynes (D), Marie Hurabiell (D), David Ganezer (R), Jingchao Xiong (R), and Nathan Deer (I).
In a top-two primary, all candidates running for a given office appear on the same primary ballot. The top two finishers—regardless of party affiliation—advance to the general election. The Democratic Party of California endorsed Wiener.[14] As of March 2026, the Republican Party of California had not endorsed any candidate.[15]
As of March 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Safe/Solid Democratic. In 2024, Pelosi defeated Bruce Lou (R) 81%–19%.

Submitted Biography: "My name is Saikat Chakrabarti, and I’m running for Congress in California’s 11th District. I came to San Francisco in 2009 after studying computer science at Harvard and became an early engineer at Stripe. For the son of Indian immigrants who came to this country through a government program that once actively recruited people to help build America, it felt like the American Dream. But as I watched friends, neighbors, and coworkers struggling harder every year just to make rent or afford childcare, I realized that dream was slipping away for most people. I left tech because I couldn’t ignore the deeper crisis. I wanted to use my skills to fight for an economy and a democracy that actually work for ordinary people. Over the past decade I’ve helped launch some of the biggest progressive campaigns in America: I built organizing tools for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, co-founded Justice Democrats, recruited and ran campaigns for candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and served as her first Chief of Staff where I helped launch the Green New Deal. After leaving Washington, I started the think tank New Consensus to develop detailed plans for how we can rebuild American industry, create millions of high-wage jobs, and tackle the climate crisis. Now I’m running for Congress because San Franciscans are being crushed by the cost of living and betrayed by leaders who are too comfortable in power to fight for us. We need bold action, and I know how to make it happen."

Submitted Biography: "Scientist. Advocate. San Franciscan. For decades, I've dedicated my life to understanding the complex systems which govern our immune health. As an immunologist, I know that a system is only as strong as its most vulnerable parts. Now, I'm running to be your Representative in Congress in District 11 to apply that same rigorous, evidence-based approach to our most pressing challenges. I understand that policy, must be rooted in data, empathy, and results. I'm Nathan Deer. I was born in Los Angeles, to immigrants from Ukraine, and I moved to San Francisco in 2016. An immunologist, I have a Bachelor’s degree from UCLA with a Master’s from NYU. In an era of misinformation, I'm offering you someone different: a representative who seeks out experts, respects the scientific method, and isn't afraid to pivot when new data is available. I've served on the board of my HOA, and even in a smaller setting, I know how challenging the political process can be. In our building, a mix of fixed income seniors, families, and young professionals, I was able to convince our membership to vote in favor of an additional assessment to fund installation of a solar panel and battery storage system."

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in California in 2026. Information below was calculated on March 6, 2026, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
A record 289 candidates, 5.6 per district, ran for California's 52 congressional districts in the state's June 2 top-two primaries. That was the most candidates to run for the U.S. House since 2014 and the most candidates per district since 2022, when California was apportioned 52 districts following the 2020 census.
These primaries happened against the backdrop of mid-decade redistricting. On Nov. 4, 2025, California voters approved Proposition 50 64.4% to 35.6%. The constitutional amendment allowed the state to use a new, Legislature-drawn congressional district map for 2026 through 2030.
According to The New York Times' Kellen Browning, the new congressional map made five Republican-held districts more favorable to Democrats.[20] As of April 6, 2026, California's U.S. House delegation included 43 Democrats, seven Republicans, one independent, and one vacancy.
Of the 289 candidates who ran, 154 were Democrats, 97 Republicans, and 38 independent or minor-party candidates. The chart below shows the total number of candidates who ran and the number per district compared to previous years.
That's because in 2026, California used a top-two primary system, in which all candidates were listed on the same ballot. The top two vote-getters, regardless of their partisan affiliations, advanced to the general election. Consequently, two candidates from the same political party could win in a top-two primary and face off in the general election. In 2024, two Democrats advanced to the general election in California's 12th, 16th, and 34th Congressional Districts. Two Republicans advanced to the general election that year in the 20th Congressional District.
Forty-eight primaries were contested in 2026. There were 42 contested primaries in 2024, 52 in 2022, 47 in 2020, 41 in 2018, 40 in 2016, and 38 in 2014.
Incumbents ran in 42 of those contested primaries. Those incumbents include 36 Democrats, five Republicans, and Rep. Kevin Kiley (I). That's the second-highest number of incumbents who faced primary challengers since 2014. Thirty-six incumbents faced primary challengers in 2024, 47 in 2022, 32 in 2020, 39 in 2018, 36 in 2016, and 32 in 2014.
For two incumbents, their primary challengers were each other. Representatives Ken Calvert (R-41) and Young Kim (R-40) ran against each other in the redrawn 40th Congressional District. According to ABC7's Josh Haskell, Calvert represented 51% of the new district, and Kim represented 35%.[21] As of April 6, 2026, the 40th Congressional District and Texas' 18th Congressional District were the only two U.S. House districts in which two incumbents ran for re-election. Texas also conducted mid-decade redistricting ahead of the 2026 congressional elections.
Six U.S. House districts were open in 2026. Seven districts were open in 2024, five in 2022, four in 2020, two in 2018, four in 2016, and six in 2014.
Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-11), Julia Brownley (D-26), and Darrell Issa (R-48) retired from public office. Representative Eric Swalwell (D-14) ran for governor of California. The 1st Congressional District was vacant due to the death of Doug LaMalfa (R). The 38th Congressional District was open because Rep. Linda Sánchez (D) ran for the 41st Congressional District.
Two districts with incumbent retirements attracted a high number of candidates. Twelve candidates — nine Democrats, two Republicans, and one independent — ran for the open 48th Congressional District. That's the most candidates who ran for any district in California in 2026. The district with the second-most candidates running — the 11th Congressional District — was also open because the incumbent retired. Eleven candidates — eight Democrats, two Republicans, and one independent — ran in that district.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2026 elections, based on results from the 2024 and 2020 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district is D+36. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 36 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made California's 11th the 6th most Democratic district nationally.[22]
