Under California's nonpartisan blanket primary law, all candidates appear on the same ballot, regardless of party. In the primary, voters may vote for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation. In the California system, the top two finishers, regardless of party, advance to the general election in November, even if a candidate receives a majority of the vote in the primary election. Washington State and Louisiana have similar nonpartisan primary style processes for senators, though Louisiana will end its jungle system for specific offices, including senator, in 2026. Incumbent Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer decided to not run for election to a fifth term.https://www.politico.com/story/2015/01/barbara-boxer-retires-114076.html Barbara Boxer: Won't run again in 2016 Politico Burgess Everett January 8, 2015 January 8, 2015 This was the first open seat Senate election in California since 1992, when Boxer was first elected.https://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/01/08/the-contenders-who-will-run-for-barbara-boxers-senate-seat The Contenders: Who Will Run for Barbara Boxer's Senate Seat? January 8, 2015 January 8, 2015 Rebecca Ballhaus The Wall Street Journal In the primary on June 7, 2016, California Attorney General Kamala Harris and U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez, both Democrats, finished in first and second place, respectively, and contested the general election. For the first time since direct elections to the Senate were mandated after the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, no Republican appeared on the general election ballot for the U.S. Senate in California. The highest Republican finisher in the primary won only 7.8 percent of the vote, and the 10 Republicans only won 27.9 percent of the vote among them.https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-senate-primary-election-20160607-snap-story.html Two Democrats will face off for California's U.S. Senate seat, marking first time a Republican will not be in contention Myers John Los Angeles Times June 8, 2016 In the general election, Harris defeated Sanchez in a landslide, carrying 54 of the state's 58 counties, including Sanchez's home county of Orange, although Sanchez held Harris to a margin of less than 1% in the Central Valley counties of Kern and Merced. Harris did not serve her full term in the Senate, as she resigned on January 18, 2021 after being elected vice president of the United States in 2020. Governor Gavin Newsom appointed Alex Padilla, the incumbent secretary of state of California, to serve the rest of her term. Background Barbara Boxer was reelected with 52.1% of the vote in 2010 against Republican Carly Fiorina. Toward the end of 2014, Boxer's low fundraising and cash-on-hand numbers led to speculation that she would retire.https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Barbara-Boxer-re-election-run-looking-unlikely-5738787.php Barbara Boxer re-election run looking unlikely September 7, 2014 September 7, 2014 SFGatehttps://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-cap-democrats-20141110-column.html Who will become California's next governor and U.S. senators?

It is also one of only two United States Senate elections in California in which both general election candidates were Democrats, the other being the election between former Senator Dianne Feinstein and then-California State Senator Kevin de León in 2018. Later, after her victory in the 2020 election as the running mate of former President Joe Biden, Harris resigned from the Senate on January 18, 2021, two days before her inauguration as vice president. This makes Harris the first US senator elected to a full six-year term since Barack Obama in 2008 to not finish what would be her sole term. On December 22, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom appointed California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to serve the remainder of Harris' term.Koseff Alexei Newsom names Alex Padilla to replace Kamala Harris — first Latino to represent California in Senate https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Newsom-names-Alex-Padilla-to-replace-Kamala-15822125.php 17 January 2021 San Francisco Chronicle 22 December 2020 Harris became President of the Senate on January 20, 2021, by virtue of her election as vice president. Harris is the second incumbent US senator from this seat to be elected vice president, the first being Richard Nixon in 1952.
