Rep. Doug LaMalfa’s death has opened California’s 1st District seat, Gov. Gavin Newsom waited until the last possible day under state law to schedule the special election for Rep. Doug LaMalfa’s vacant seat, ultimately setting it for August 4, 2026 - with a June 2 primary. His delay leaves the district without representation for months, a move critics say creates political complications for the already narrow U.S. House majority. The general election will use new districts created under Prop 50, which adds five congressional seats and reshapes California’s political map. The special election still uses old boundaries.
