The 2026 midterm elections represent one of the most consequential political moments in recent years. Control of Congress may hinge on a small number of highly competitive districts across the country, where margins are tight and outcomes remain uncertain.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) of California has developed the following swing district guide based on its current public policy priorities, identifying key races where engagement and advocacy efforts may have the greatest impact.
There are four congressional districts (CA-22, CA-48, CA-13, CA-45) considered swing districts as defined by SwingLeft.org—indicating a previously narrow election. Together, these districts represent the front lines of the 2026 midterms—where small shifts in voter sentiment could determine the balance of power in Washington
The Issues
Each candidate was evaluated based on a set of issues aligning with AAUW's Public Policy Priorities. All candidates were asked to complete the following guide. While some candidates provided direct responses, others required further research from press statements and campaign agendas.
