Worth noting: California redrew its congressional maps in 2025 (Prop 50), so CA-05's boundaries are set to change with the next election, though the current boundaries remain in effect for the sitting representative until then. McClintock is also running for reelection in 2026, facing three Democratic challengers — Michael Barkley, Michael Masuda, and Dan Stroud — who qualified for the June 2, 2026 primary ballot.
