California voters in the 14th Congressional District head to the polls on August 18, for a special general runoff election to choose who will serve the remainder of former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell’s term. State Sen. Aisha Wahab and Bay Area Rapid Transit Board President and former Dublin Mayor Melissa Hernandez, both Democrats, are competing for the seat. The winner will serve the remainder of Swalwell’s term, which became vacant after he resigned from Congress in April.
The two candidates will also face each other in November for the full-term 14th District seat beginning in January 2027.
