The2018 United States House of Representatives elections in California were held on November 6, 2018, with the primary elections being held on June 5, 2018. Voters elected the 53U.S. representatives from the state ofCalifornia, one from each of the state's 53congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other offices, including agubernatorial election,other elections to the House of Representatives,elections to theUnited States Senate, and variousstate andlocal elections.
Democrats won in seven congressional districts previously represented byRepublicans, all of which voted forHillary Clinton in2016. This reduced the California House Republican delegation by half and left the Republican Party with the fewest seats in California since just before the1946 election cycle.
Republican incumbentsJeff Denham,David Valadao,Steve Knight,Mimi Walters, andDana Rohrabacher (who had been elected to fifteen terms) were all defeated. Democrats also picked up two open seats previously held by retiring GOP incumbents: thirteen-term incumbentEd Royce and nine-term incumbentDarrell Issa. The seven Democratic House pickups in California were the most made by the party in the 2018 election cycle.

The 4th district is based in east central California and includesLake Tahoe,Roseville, andYosemite National Park. Incumbent RepublicanTom McClintock, who had represented the 4th district since 2009, ran for re-election. He was re-elected with 62.7% of the vote in 2016. The district had aPVI of R+10.
The 4th district was added as a Republican-held seat that theDemocratic Congressional Campaign Committee was targeting on November 9, 2017.[25]
In February, theCalifornia Democratic Party endorsed[28] Jessica Morse. Calderon was able to successfully collect 322 CDP-credentialed delegate signatures needed to block the endorsement, in which Morse only received 44 delegate votes. However, CDP staff refused to accept the forms after it was alleged they closed doors early to prevent the submission. A petition was later filed with the Compliance Review Commission[29] by Calderon. The CRC voted to accept and count the signatures, ultimately disqualifying enough signatures to proceed with Morse's endorsement.
California allows candidates to include their professional description under their names on the ballot, however Regina Bateson later challenged Morse's ballot designation title of "National Security Fellow" at the Sacramento Superior Court after months of controversy that Morse, who had not worked in three years, was "fluffing" her credentials.[30] California's secretary of state,Alex Padilla, had struck down Morse's three ballot designations before Judge Gevercer ruled[31] that she presented "no credible evidence" to use the ballot designation of "National Security Fellow". Instead, he held that this title would mislead the average person about her recent activities. In the official Certified Candidate List, Morse's ballot designation was left blank.

As a minority, millennial female running against an established male politician, Heng received a number of comparisons toAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez.[93] Heng gained notoriety during the campaign for aggressive attack ads, including one where she depicted a silver-haired man who resembled Costa walking on a sidewalk in red high heels, which prompted questions of sexism.[94] More controversially her campaign ran an ad featuring images of theCambodian genocide, part of her family heritage. This ad was banned onFacebook andTwitter, leading to conservative claims of social media bias and unjustified censorship.[95][96] Both social media sites ended up reversing course and allowed the commercials.[94]

On August 22, 2018, Hunter and his wife were both indicted on federal charges for alleged misuse of campaign funds.[325]
Hunter repeatedly attacked his Campa-Najjar over his half-Palestinian heritage, claiming that Campa-Najjar, who converted to Christianity from Islam in high school,[326] was an "Islamist" trying to "infiltrate Congress", and describing him as a "security threat" with terrorist ties.[327]The Washington Post fact-checkers wrote that an October 1, 2018, television ad by Hunter's campaign used "naked anti-Muslim bias" and sought to scare Californians from voting for Campa-Najjar, despite the fact that Campa-Najjar "isn't evenMuslim. All the claims in the ad are false, misleading or devoid of evidence."[328] Hunter also claimed that Campa-Najjar was being supported byCAIR and theMuslim Brotherhood;PolitiFact gave this claim its "Pants on Fire" rating.[329]CNN,The Guardian,Buzzfeed News, andThe Daily Beast described Hunter's campaign as "anti-Muslim",Vox described it as "race-baiting", andThe Atlantic called it "one of the most brazenly anti-Muslim smear campaigns in recent history."[327][330][331][332][333][334] After Hunter's attacks on Campa-Najjar were widely condemned, Hunter doubled down on the attacks in a direct mail letter written and signed by three defense industry lobbyists, characterizing Campa-Najjar as a national security risk.[335] Campa-Najjar described Hunter's attacks as "pathological."[336]

The most notable rejection occurred earlier this year when Elizabeth Heng, a Republican congressional candidate in California, tried to place a video ad that provided her basic biography and platform...Facebook refused to place the ad, saying it violated the company's advertising policies, which ban ads that contain "shocking" content or depict "violence or threats of violence." Twitter also banned the ad, saying it had "inappropriate" content.
