News for CASA Members

Election 2026: If You Missed the Results, We Have Them Here California voters went to the polls on November 3, and the early results point to big changes in Sacramento and Washington. Democrats are projected to control both the U.S. House and Senate, with Senate pickups in Texas, Kansas, and several other states. Here in California, Xavier Becerra is projected to be our next governor, and Democrats are projected to win every other statewide office except Insurance Commissioner, which is still too close to call. In the Legislature, Democrats are on pace to keep or grow their two-thirds supermajorities. At least 22 new legislators will arrive in December. Proposition 40, the “billionaires tax,” is trailing, and several legislative races are separated by only a few hundred votes. All results are unofficial until the Secretary of State certifies them on December 11. CASA will keep members informed as new members, leadership, and committee assignments are announced for the 2027–28 session. Full results are below.
