{{Elections in California}}

The 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in California were held on November 6, 2018, with the primary elections being held on June 5, 2018. Voters elected the 53 U.S. representatives from the state of California, one from each of the state's 53 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other offices, including a gubernatorial election, other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections.

Democrats won in seven congressional districts previously represented by Republicans, all of which voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. This reduced the California House Republican delegation by half and left the Republican Party with the fewest seats in California since just before the 1946 election cycle.

Republican incumbents Jeff Denham, David Valadao, Steve Knight, Mimi Walters, and Dana Rohrabacher (who had been elected to fifteen terms) were all defeated. Democrats also picked up two open seats previously held by retiring GOP incumbents: thirteen-term incumbent Ed Royce and nine-term incumbent Darrell Issa. The seven Democratic House pickups in California were the most made by the party in the 2018 election cycle.

In February, the California Democratic Party endorsed{{#invoke:cite web||url=http://www.thepresstribune.com/article/2/27/18/jessica-morse-wins-contested-endorsement-california-democratic-party |language=en |access-date=February 27, 2018|url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180228044554/http://www.thepresstribune.com/article/2/27/18/jessica-morse-wins-contested-endorsement-california-democratic-party |archive-date=February 28, 2018| title=Gold Country News {{pipe}} Gold Country Media}} Jessica Morse. Calderon was able to successfully collect 322 CDP-credentialed delegate signatures needed to block the endorsement, in which Morse only received 44 delegate votes. However, CDP staff refused to accept the forms after it was alleged they closed doors early to prevent the submission. A petition was later filed with the Compliance Review Commission{{#invoke:cite web||title=California Democratic Party Rules Committee Agenda and Packet|url=https://www.cadem.org/our-party/standing-committees/body/FINAL-Rules-Packet-071118.pdf|publisher=California Democratic Party}} by Calderon. The CRC voted to accept and count the signatures, ultimately disqualifying enough signatures to proceed with Morse's endorsement.

California allows candidates to include their professional description under their names on the ballot, however Regina Bateson later challenged Morse's ballot designation title of "National Security Fellow" at the Sacramento Superior Court after months of controversy that Morse, who had not worked in three years, was "fluffing" her credentials.{{#invoke:cite web||title=Tom McClintock rival Morse is stretches résumé|url=https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article200966309.html|last=Cadei|first=Emily|date=February 20, 2018|website=The Sacramento Bee}} California's secretary of state, Alex Padilla, had struck down Morse's three ballot designations before Judge Gevercer ruled{{#invoke:cite web||title=Secretary of State Padilla Responds|url=https://www.bateson4congress.com/app/uploads/2018/04/Padilla-response.pdf|date=24 March 2018|website=Regina Bateson}} that she presented "no credible evidence" to use the ballot designation of "National Security Fellow". Instead, he held that this title would mislead the average person about her recent activities. In the official Certified Candidate List, Morse's ballot designation was left blank.

As a minority, millennial female running against an established male politician, Heng received a number of comparisons to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.{{#invoke:cite news||last1=McGurn |first1=William |date=September 3, 2018 |title=An Ocasio-Cortez for the GOP? |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/an-ocasio-cortez-for-the-gop-1536010648 |work=The Wall Street Journal |access-date=August 24, 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20180904043442/https://www.wsj.com/articles/an-ocasio-cortez-for-the-gop-1536010648 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription |archive-date=September 4, 2018}} Heng gained notoriety during the campaign for aggressive attack ads, including one where she depicted a silver-haired man who resembled Costa walking on a sidewalk in red high heels, which prompted questions of sexism.{{#invoke:cite news||author= |date=October 22, 2018 |title=Is Heng's 'Costa in High Heels' Ad Fair or Cheap Shot? |url=https://gvwire.com/2018/10/22/is-hengs-costa-in-high-heels-ad-fair-or-cheap-shot/ |work=GVWire |access-date=August 23, 2022}} More controversially her campaign ran an ad featuring images of the Cambodian genocide, part of her family heritage. This ad was banned on Facebook and Twitter, leading to conservative claims of social media bias and unjustified censorship.{{#invoke:cite news||last1=Garofoli |first1=Joe |date=August 7, 2018 |title=Facebook fumbles ad ban in CA House race, prompting conservative outrage |url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Facebook-fumbles-ad-ban-in-CA-House-race-13139577.php |work=San Francisco Chronicle |access-date=August 24, 2022}}{{#invoke:cite news||author= |title=Social media giants' record not improving |url=https://www.oklahoman.com/story/opinion/editorials/2018/11/06/social-media-giants-record-not-improving/60490466007/ |newspaper=The Daily Oklahoman |date=November 6, 2018 |access-date=August 24, 2022 |quote=The most notable rejection occurred earlier this year when Elizabeth Heng, a Republican congressional candidate in California, tried to place a video ad that provided her basic biography and platform...Facebook refused to place the ad, saying it violated the company's advertising policies, which ban ads that contain "shocking" content or depict "violence or threats of violence." Twitter also banned the ad, saying it had "inappropriate" content.}} Both social media sites ended up reversing course and allowed the commercials.

On election night, Valadao held an 8-point lead, the Associated Press and other news networks called the race for Valadao, and Cox conceded. However, mail-in and absentee ballots, which constituted about sixty percent of all ballots cast in the race, started arriving in the days and weeks following election day and swung heavily toward Cox. On November 26, Cox took the lead, retaining it until all ballots had been counted; Valadao conceded the race on December 6.

The 49th district is based in northern San Diego County and parts of southern Orange County. It includes the cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente. Incumbent Republican Darrell Issa, who had represented the 49th district since 2003 and the 48th district from 2001 to 2003, retired and did not run in 2018.{{#invoke:cite news||last1=Marcos|first1=Cristina|title=Issa retiring from Congress|url=http://thehill.com/homenews/house/368287-issa-retiring-from-congress-report|access-date=January 10, 2018|newspaper=The Hill|date=January 10, 2018}} He was re-elected with 50.3% of the vote in 2016. The district had a PVI of R+1.

=Primary election=

California's 49th district was included on the list of Republican-held seats being targeted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2018.

Given the close margin in 2016, this election was considered to be highly competitive.{{#invoke:cite news||last1=Bellatoni|first1=Christina|last2=Westfall|first2=Julie|last3=Wisk|first3=Allison|title=California could flip the House, and these 13 races will make the difference|url=http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-pol-ca-california-congressional-race-rankings/|access-date=6 January 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=20 November 2017}}
