California State Assembly — California

Back to California

Election: November 3, 2026. Checked: October 7, 2026.

This directory includes 215 names: 156 certified November candidates across all 80 districts, plus 59 additional earlier primary candidates. The November names come from the August 27 certified list; earlier primary names come from the March 26 primary certified list. Individual platform reports, portraits, funding reviews, and scores remain pending.

Official certified list. Names, party preferences, and incumbency markers below come from that list. A party preference is not a party endorsement. Your residence determines which district appears on your ballot.

WHAT THIS OFFICE DOES

State legislators consider legislation and the state budget and conduct oversight. Promises that require other legislators, the governor, or local boards should be identified as shared responsibilities.

THE PUBLIC SQUARE — START THE CONVERSATION

X/Twitter is a public square where candidates can explain their ideas, answer questions, and remain visible between elections. Verified public accounts receive outreach priority here, including candidates from the earlier primary. This is an outreach order, not an endorsement, a quality score, or a prediction of who will win. Candidates without a verified X account remain included.

To every candidate: If this election did not go your way, do not give up. Your ideas, your experience, and your public service can continue. Tell us what made running difficult, what should be fairer, and what you would change. Omar Arizona welcomes a conversation about building a better political system together. The next election can be a new beginning; no result or recommendation is guaranteed.

X/Twitter outreach list — earlier primary candidates first

48 candidate-linked accounts identified so far; checked October 7, 2026. Missing accounts are unverified, not proof that a candidate has no account. A public profile does not guarantee that direct messages are open. Earlier primary candidates are shown first; no funding assessment is implied.

EARLIER PRIMARY CANDIDATES — YOUR POLITICAL WORK CAN CONTINUE

59 additional candidates appeared in the March 26 certified list for the June 2, 2026 primary and are absent from the certified November directory below. Listing them preserves their visibility and invites conversation; it does not establish a future campaign or November ballot eligibility.

RESEARCH STILL TO COME

No numerical scores or election forecasts are assigned here. Candidate biographies, policy commitments, public records, responses, and comparable financial filings must be reviewed before assessments. Write-in qualification and publicly announced campaigns outside this certified list require separate verification; this page does not claim to cover them yet.

Every candidate will face the same questions: What will you do? Which powers can you use? What will it cost? What measurable result and deadline will you publish?

We wish all candidates well and encourage readers to check their own official ballot.
