Notable personal detailsMichael Stansfield is a Republican candidate for the U.S. House in California’s 6th Congressional District in the 2026 cycle. He has described his work background as technical support and author. He previously ran for Congress in Oregon in 2018 as a Democrat. In 2026, his authorized committee is registered as the “Michael Stansfield Contra-Zionism Committee.”
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 potentially leave no Democrat on the November ballot, though many mail votes are still uncounted and the outcome could change. The race remains close as California continues counting ballots.
