The 2014 U.S. House of Representatives elections in California took place on November 4, 2014. Voters elected 53 candidates to serve in the U.S. House, one from each of the state's 53 congressional districts.

Candidate Filing Deadline  |  Primary Election  |  General Election

|
|

March 7, 2014 |  June 3, 2014 |  November 4, 2014

Primary: California uses a top-two primary system, in which all candidates appear on the same ballot. The top two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, move on to the general election. In states that do not use a top-two system, all parties are usually able to put forward a candidate for the general election if they choose to.[1][2][3][4]

Unlike the top-two format used in some states (Louisiana and Georgia special elections for example), a general election between the top two candidates in California occurs regardless of whether the top candidate received 50 percent of the vote in the first round of elections.

As of 2019, California was one of three states to use a top-two primary system. Washington used the system for congressional and state-level elections, and Nebraska utilized a top-two system for its nonpartisan state legislature.

Voter registration: To vote in the primary, voters had to register by May 19, 2014. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 20, 2014 (the 15th calendar day before that election).[5]

## Battleground races[edit]

California was home to four battleground districts in 2014: California's 7th Congressional District, California's 21st Congressional District, California's 36th Congressional District and California's 52nd Congressional District.

### District 7[edit]

See also: California's 7th Congressional District elections, 2014

California's 7th Congressional District was a battleground in 2014.[6] The district has a very slight Democratic lean.[7][8] Incumbent Ami Bera (D) won election in 2012 by only 3.4 percent, and the district was won by President Barack Obama by 5 percent or less in both 2008 and 2012. Additionally, incumbent Ami Bera was a freshman representative.

Bera won re-election. He defeated Doug Ose (R) in the general election on November 4, 2014. The race remained uncalled for over two weeks following the general election.

### District 21[edit]

See also: California's 21st Congressional District elections, 2014

Our analysis pointed to California's 21st Congressional District being a battleground with a Republican incumbent that leaned Democratic.[7][8] The district was won by President Barack Obama by 11.1% in 2012 and 6% in 2008. Additionally, incumbent David Valadao (R) was a freshman representative.

Valadao won re-election, defeating Amanda Renteria (D) in the general election on November 4, 2014.

### District 36[edit]

See also: California's 36th Congressional District elections, 2014

California's 36th Congressional District was a battleground in 2014. The district had very close to even numbers of Democratic and Republican voters.[7][8] The district was won by President Barack Obama by 3.2% in 2012 and 3% in 2008. Additionally, incumbent Raul Ruiz (D) was a freshman representative.

Ruiz won re-election, defeating state representative Brian Nestande (R) in the general election on November 4, 2014.

### District 52[edit]

See also: California's 52nd Congressional District elections, 2014

Our analysis pointed to California's 52nd Congressional District being a battleground with a slight Democratic lean.[7][8] Incumbent Scott Peters (D) won election by 2.4 percent in 2012 and was a freshman member of the U.S. House.

Peters defeated Carl DeMaio in the general election on November 4, 2014. The race remained uncalled for several days following the election. DeMaio conceded to Peters on November 9, 2014.

## Issues[edit]

### Top-two primary system[edit]

Since California implemented the top-two primary system, minor party and no party preference candidates have had a harder time making it onto the ballot. In 2012, minor parties put 21 candidates on the ballot in California. For the 10 years prior to that election, they averaged a combined 133 candidates on the ballot.[9] Additionally, in the 111 elections for federal or state office in which a minor party did place a candidate on the primary ballot against at least two major party candidates in a top-two primary system, no minor party candidate has placed first or second in order to move on to the general election.[10][11]
