Elections by year

The2024 California's 20th congressional district special election was held on March 19, 2024, with a runoff on May 21 because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the first round. It elected a new member of theUnited States House of Representatives to replaceKevin McCarthy, who resigned on December 31, 2023, following hisremoval asspeaker of the House.[1]

Two Republicans,Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux and state assemblymanVince Fong, advanced to the runoff. Boudreaux narrowly edged out the leading Democrat, teacher Marisa Wood, to claim the second runoff spot. Fong won the runoff with more than 60% of the vote[2] and won a full term inNovember 2024; Boudreaux dropped out of the November race but his name remained on the ballot.[3]

Background

[edit]
Further information:January 2023 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election andRemoval of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House

At the start of the118th Congress, Republicans' narrow majority garnered from the2022 elections allowed McCarthy, the then-leader of theHouse Republican Conference, to beelected speaker at the start of the session. However, opposition from the far-rightFreedom Caucus prolonged the election, leading to fifteen rounds of voting that eventually resulted in McCarthy's election. The caucus continued its opposition of McCarthy during his tenure, threatening agovernment shutdown following his involvement in negotiations for thefederal budget. When McCarthy led the House in passing acontinuing resolution, relying on votes from theDemocratic Caucus to effectively avert a shutdown, RepresentativeMatt Gaetz ofFlorida filed amotion to vacate the speakership. On October 3, the motion narrowly passed, and McCarthy wasremoved from the office of Speaker of the House, the first instance of which in American history.

Two months after his political defeat, McCarthy published anop-ed withThe Wall Street Journal announcing his resignation from Congress, highlighting his accomplishments and stating that his work is "only getting started."[4] His announcement came while House Republicans' majority had already lowered since theexpulsion of RepresentativeGeorge Santos ofNew York, making the legislative agenda of the new speaker,Mike Johnson ofLouisiana, more difficult to pass. As such, Republicans see both the special and generalHouse elections in 2024 as crucial to maintaining their influence in Congress.[5] Nonetheless, this district is consideredsafely Republican: McCarthy won 67.2% of the vote in2022 against Democratic challenger Marisa Wood.

Nonpartisan blanket primary

[edit]

Campaign

[edit]

Vince Fong, an assemblymember who was considered a protégé of McCarthy, announced that he would be running for the seat after initially declining to run. He was deemed ineligible to run in the 2024 Presidential Primary as the deadline already passed (but not ineligible for the special election) byCalifornia Secretary of StateShirley Weber due to Fong having already qualified to be on that ballot forre-election in theCalifornia State Assembly, which is prohibited by state law.[6][7] Fong sued the state, with Superior Court judge Shelleyanne W. L. Chang ruling in favor of Fong and allowing him to run in the election.[8] In response to the ruling, Weber appealed the ruling and assemblymemberWendy Carrillo introduced a bill that would prevent candidates from running for two elected offices at the same time.[9][10] In January 2024, Weber filed a petition to a state appeals court to erase the ruling and prohibit Fong from running, while assemblywomanGail Pellerin introduced a bill to bar candidates from filing to run for more than one office during the same election.[11]
