On the ballot
- Jared Huffman — Democratic
- Robin Littau — Republican
This person holds your district's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives (2-year term).
Representative Jared Huffman took 56.5% of the June 2 vote and Republican Robin Littau took 11.4% to claim the second slot. The district covers the North Coast from Marin to the Oregon border.
The winner holds one of 435 seats in the U.S. House for a two-year term. A member introduces bills, sits on committees that shape federal legislation, votes on the federal budget and on war powers, and handles casework between constituents and federal agencies. Seniority governs committee standing, so a long-serving member carries influence a newcomer cannot.
The incumbent has served since 2013 and has 2 career bills enacted from 28 sponsored this Congress — a ratio that is normal for the House, where most members' work happens through committee and amendments rather than standalone bills. His opponent has reported no funding. The practical question is what this district gets from a safe seat.
Jared Huffman
Democrat, the sitting Representative for this district since 2013. He has sponsored 28 bills in the 119th Congress, and 2 of his career bills have become law. He raised $978,277, of which $607,582 came from individuals.
Strengths
More than a decade of seniority and the committee standing that comes with it, plus a majority of his funding from named individuals.
Trade-offs
About a third of his funding came from PACs and committees, and enacted-law counts are a blunt measure in the House.
Keep in mind
A 56.5% primary is a fact about this district as much as about his record.
Robin Littau
Republican, who advanced with 11.4% of the June vote. She has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress. Federal filings show no contributions reported for her committee.
Strengths
She gave this district a contested November ballot rather than an uncontested one.
Trade-offs
No reported funding and no record in office leaves very little for a voter to evaluate beyond party.
Keep in mind
Coverage surfaced almost no biographical or platform detail about her. That gap is what was available to us on 2026-08-10, not a comment on her candidacy.
