Democrat Adam Gray wins reelection to U.S. House in California’s 13th Congressional District

Nov 4, 2026 | 12:04 PM

Democratic incumbent Adam Gray won election Wednesday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing California’s 13th Congressional District, defeating Republican Kevin Lincoln. Gray, a moderate Democrat who won his first House term by just 187 votes in 2024, secured a second term. The 13th District has been a perennial battleground but became more favorable to Democrats under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan last year intended to help his party’s electoral chances. Lincoln is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former mayor of Stockton. The Associated Press declared Gray the winner at 1:03 p.m. EST.
