Brad Sherman’s commanding position in the California 32nd congressional district reflects the seat’s strong Democratic lean, his 15-term incumbency, and consistent primary performance that placed him atop a crowded field in June 2026. The district, encompassing portions of Los Angeles and Ventura counties including Malibu and Simi Valley, carries a partisan voting index favoring Democrats by double digits, and Sherman previously defeated the same Republican opponent by a 66-34 margin in 2024. Larry Thompson advanced as the top Republican but has trailed significantly in fundraising and name recognition. Forecasters rate the race Solid or Safe Democratic. A late scandal, health event affecting the incumbent, or dramatic national shift could narrow the gap, though historical patterns and the district’s composition make such reversals uncommon before November.
