Incumbent Rep. Mike Thompson (D) faces a rare well-funded primary challenge from Eric Jones (D) in California's 4th Congressional District's top-two primary on June 2, 2026, where the top two vote-getters advance regardless of party to the November general. Jones, a Silicon Valley-backed venture capitalist emphasizing progressive reforms like closing corporate loopholes, recently won a straw poll at an Indivisible Yolo forum, while Thompson leverages establishment endorsements from the California Democratic Party and long-standing ties to the wine industry and wildfire relief efforts. Close fundraising—Jones with higher receipts but Thompson more cash on hand—fuels trader focus amid a fragmented Republican field of six candidates that could enable both Democrats to advance in the Democratic-leaning district. Ballots mail May 4, amplifying early voting dynamics.
