The2024 California's 16th congressional district election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect theUnited States representative forCalifornia's 16th congressional district . The election was held concurrently withelections for the other U.S. House districts in California and therest of the country , as well as the2024 U.S. Senate race in California , otherelections to theUnited States Senate , and variousstate andlocal elections . The primary election was held on March 5, 2024, concurrently with theSuper Tuesday presidential primaries.
The 16th district is an urban/suburban district based inSilicon Valley , including portions ofSanta Clara andSan Mateo counties, extending from the southwesternSan Francisco Bay Area through theSanta Cruz Mountains to the Pacific coast. Its largest cities areSan Jose ,Mountain View , andPalo Alto .[ 1] Joe Biden won the district with 75.4% of the vote in the2020 presidential election , making it asafe Democratic district .[ 2]
The incumbent prior to the election was DemocratAnna Eshoo , who was re-elected with 57.8% of the vote in 2022 running against another Democrat.[ 3] [ 4] San Jose mayor Sam Liccardo had taken first place. However, it was unclear which candidate he would face in the general election, asstate assemblyman Evan Low andSanta Clara County supervisor Joe Simitian repeatedly traded the second-place position during the vote tabulation process.[ 5]
By April 3, Low and Simitian had tied with 30,249 votes each in the final account, and both were expected to advance to the general election under a stipulation by California elections code regarding a second-place tie in primary elections.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] Michael Bloomberg .[ 8] [ 9]
On November 6, the Associated Press called the race for Liccardo.[ 10] [ 11]
The primary results marked the second time since California transitioned to anonpartisan blanket primary system in 2012 in which there was a second-place tie in a primary election and a potential three-candidate general election, the first being the2016 election forCalifornia's 62nd State Assembly district .[ a] [ 5]

Recount and involvement of Liccardo super PACs [ edit ] Santa Clara and San Mateo counties certified the primary results on April 4.[ 69] Los Angeles Times [ 5] [ 70] [ 71] 2014 mayoral campaign and donated $1,000 to his 2024 congressional campaign, and Pacifica resident Dan Stegink.[ 6] [ 72]
Low's campaign alleged that Liccardo was behind the requests, which they called "a page right out of Trump's political playbook using dirty tricks to attack democracy and subvert the will of the voters." Liccardo's campaign denied responsibility, though they maintained the recount was necessary, saying "every vote should be counted."[ 73] [ 74] [ 75] [ 76]
Padilla submitted a $12,000 deposit for the recount on April 12. He opted for amachine recount , in which ballots are re-screened by a machine, rather than a much more expensivemanual recount , in which volunteers would count each ballot by hand. Election officials estimated the cost of the machine recount at around $80,000, whereas a manual recount could have cost upwards of $400,000.[ 77] [ 72]
According to reporting byKNTV , the recount is being funded by $12,000 checks from the newly-formed super PAC "Count the Vote" signed by James Sutton, an attorney who had previously represented Liccardo.[ 78] Federal Election Commission , alleging that the Liccardo campaign concocted a "secret scheme to illegally coordinate with a newly-formed dark money Super PAC to do his CD-16 recount bidding" and noted Liccardo's past connections with those involved in requesting the recount. Zarzana also highlighted Liccardo's history of "backroom deals" including violations of theCalifornia Public Records Act for which he was previously fined $500,000.[ 79]
The results of the recount were finalized on May 1, with Low advancing to the general election and Simitian eliminated by a 5-vote margin, 30,261 to 30,256.[ 7] [ 80]
On May 20, Neighbors for Results, the super PAC supporting Liccardo almost entirely funded by billionaireMichael Bloomberg , disclosed that it paid $102,000 to the group which funded the recount, Count the Vote PAC.[ 8] [ 9] Bloomberg Philanthropies previously selected San Jose, which Liccardo was then mayor of, for funding and resources from the American Cities Climate Challenge, and two years later Liccardo then endorsed and served as a state co-chair on Bloomberg's presidential campaign.[ 81] [ 76] [ 82]
