2024 California's 47th congressional district election
The 2024 California's 47th congressional district election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the United States Representative for California's 47th congressional district, concurrently with elections for the other U.S. House districts in California and the rest of the country, as well as the 2024 U.S. Senate race in California, other elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary election will be held on March 5, 2024, concurrently with the Super Tuesday presidential primaries. The Southern California-based 47th district is centered in Orange County and includes the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Newport Beach, and Seal Beach, as well as portions of Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, and Laguna Woods.

The incumbent is Democrat Katie Porter, who was re-elected with 51.7% of the vote in 2022. She is not seeking re-election, instead choosing to run for the U.S. Senate.[1] Porter was first elected in 2018, unseating incumbent Republican Mimi Walters. She later gained national fame for her progressive politics and frequently went viral for grilling corporate executives during congressional hearings.[2]
The candidates leading in fundraising are state senator Dave Min and community activist Joanna Weiss, both Democrats, and former state assemblyman Scott Baugh and businessman Max Ukropina, both Republicans. Democratic former congressman Harley Rouda was previously in the race and led in fundraising, but dropped out due to complications from an injury. California State Board of Equalization member Mike Schaefer, also a Democrat, is a more recent entrant into the race.
The race is expected to be highly competitive as it is a slightly blue suburban district with no incumbent. Both House Democrats and House Republicans have listed California's 47th district among their highest-priority districts in the 2024 election.[3][4] Democrat Joe Biden won the district with 54.5% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election.[5]
