News
Jared Huffman is in the news for his 2026 reelection race in California’s redrawn 2nd Congressional District, where he has been leading the primary vote count and finished first as counting continued. He is expected to move on to the general election, with Republicans still sorting out their strongest challenger. He has also faced criticism over federal funding tied to Point Reyes ranch buyouts, which his challenger says is too little and too late. Separately, Huffman drew attention for being the first House Democrat to call on Eric Swalwell to resign from Congress amid misconduct allegations.
