Democratic incumbent Rep. Adam Gray will face Republican Kevin Lincoln in the race to defend his congressional seat in a majority-Hispanic district in California’s agricultural heartland that he narrowly snatched from Rep. John Duarte (R-Calif.) in 2024 with a margin of just 187 votes.
Gray first ran in 2022 but lost the seat to Duarte by 564 votes. The congressman announced his reelection campaign in March, promising “real results” for the San Joaquin Valley and positioning himself as a moderate who can stand up to “partisan extremists” on both right and left.
