This candidate's election was identified as a 2018 battleground race. The following content comes from our coverage of that election here.


In California's 10th Congressional District, venture capitalist Josh Harder (D) defeated incumbent Rep. Jeff Denham (R) in the general election on November 6, 2018.[1]

All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election in 2018. As of 3:45 p.m. ET on November 12, 2018, eight U.S. House elections remained too close to call. The Democratic Party had gained a net total of 32 seats, winning control of the chamber. This race was identified as a 2018 battleground that might have affected partisan control of the U.S. House in the 116th Congress. Heading into the election, the Republican Party was in the majority holding 235 seats to Democrats' 193 seats, with seven vacant seats. Democrats needed to win 23 GOP-held seats in 2018 to win control of the House. From 1918 to 2016, the president’s party lost an average of 29 seats in midterm elections.

Denham, first elected in 2010, was one of seven California Republicans who represented a district won by Hillary Clinton in 2016.[2] This district was one of 25 Republican-held U.S. House districts that Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election, while Denham won his 2016 election by 3.4 percentage points. Prior to Denham's election, the district was represented by Democrat Ellen Tauscher for fourteen years.

  • Protecting Medicare Benefits For Our Seniors
Excerpt: "I won’t support any plan that will rob our seniors of the Medicare benefits they have paid into for their entire lives. They have earned those benefits. I want to guarantee that anyone over the age of 55 will see the benefits they deserve."

Issues

Poll on 2013 immigration plan

Several Republican members of the U.S. House may have faced a tougher path to re-election in 2014 because the Gang of Eight's immigration bill did not pass in the House in 2013, according to a Public Policy Poll released in July 2013.[137]

According to the poll, a majority of voters in seven Republican congressional districts said they were less likely to vote for their representative if he or she failed to support the plan. Public Policy Polling described the bill to respondents, saying that it would "secure our borders, block employers from hiring undocumented immigrants, and make sure that undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. with no criminal record register for legal status. If a long list of requirements is met over more than a decade, it provides eligibility for a path to citizenship."[138]

Denham represented one of those seven districts. Voters also reported in the poll that they were less likely to support Republican candidates in the 2014 general election if the Republican House members blocked this immigration proposal.[137] Voters in all seven districts had at least 61 percent support for the Senate’s immigration plan.[137]

In October 2013, Denham became the first House Republican to publicly announce his support of the immigration bill the Senate passed earlier in 2013, largely due to the efforts of the Senate's bipartisan Gang of Eight.[139]

Legislative scorecard

Capitol Weekly, California's major weekly periodical covering the state legislature, publishes an annual legislative scorecard to pin down the political or ideological leanings of every member of the legislature based on how they voted on an assortment of bills in the most recent legislative session. The 2009 scores were passed on votes on 19 bills, but did not include how legislators voted on the Proposition 1A (2009). On the scorecard, "100" is a perfect liberal score and "0" is a perfect conservative score.[140][141]

On the 2009 Capitol Weekly legislative scorecard, Denham ranked as a 17.[142]

It consists of two different metrics:

PGI: Change in net worth
