Incumbent Democrat Mike Levin leads the race slightly over Republican challenger Brian Maryott for California’s 49th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives on the morning of Nov. 9. The district straddles northern San Diego County and southern Orange County.
Levin, who is seeking a third term, was ahead with about 51.7 percent of the vote over Maryott, the former mayor of San Juan Capistrano, with 48.3 percent, according to preliminary results from the California Secretary of State. Official California election results must be certified by Dec. 16.
