Notable personal detailsMichael Stansfield is a Republican candidate for the U.S. House in California’s 6th Congressional District in the 2026 election cycle. He has been described as a tech support worker and as an applications engineer. He previously ran for Congress in Oregon’s 1st Congressional District in 2018 as a Democrat.
Michael Stansfield is drawing attention in California’s newly redrawn 6th Congressional District primary, where early vote counts put him in second place behind Kevin Kiley. That result raised the possibility that Stansfield could advance to the general election and leave no Democrat on the November ballot, which would be a setback for Democrats hoping to gain the seat. The race is still unsettled because many mail ballots remain uncounted, so the final outcome could change.
