Robert Garcia, the Democratic incumbent and former Long Beach mayor, advanced from the June 2026 top-two primary with 56.5% of the vote against Republican Brian Burley’s 20.6%, setting up a November 3 general election matchup. Multiple forecasters rate the redrawn district as Solid or Safe Democratic, reflecting Garcia’s strong fundraising edge of roughly $2.6 million to Burley’s $231,000 and the seat’s underlying partisan lean despite the addition of more conservative Orange County coastal areas. Garcia’s profile as ranking member of the House Oversight Committee and prior 68-point 2024 victory reinforce trader consensus around his commanding lead. A late-breaking scandal, health event, or unusually strong Republican national environment could still alter the outcome before ballots are cast.
