Only three congressional races in the November general election remain uncalled by The Associated Press, with two in California and one in Iowa.

Counting is coming down to the wire in the Golden State’s 13th and 45th Congressional District races and Iowa’s First Congressional District, where the vote margins remain razor thin. While California is still undergoing its initial vote count, Iowa has moved on to a recount for its First Congressional District.

California’s 13th District

Republican incumbent Rep. John Duarte has a slight lead over his opponent, former Democratic state assembly member Adam Gray, in California’s 13th Congressional District.

Duarte leads by 207 votes in the race, where Christine Pelosi, daughter of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, confirmed she is out verifying signatures as part of the ballot-curing process, which allows voters to fix problems with their ballots; for example, if their signatures don’t match the ones on file. Gray, meanwhile, is calling for volunteers to help his campaign cure ballots.

As of the latest update on Nov. 25, Duarte had 50.05 percent of the vote while Gray had 49.95 percent. In 2022, the two candidates faced each other in a midterm election decided by just 564 votes.

Duarte, a businessman and pistachio farmer, has served District 13, located west of Fresno, since January 2023. He has sponsored congressional bills such as the Border Security and Immigration Reform Act while in office and promises to combat the high cost of living, protect the Central Valley’s water and farms, and prioritize safe communities.

Gray has also served in the California State Assembly, representing the 21st Assembly District from 2012 to 2022. He supported access to affordable health care, job creation, education, public safety, and protecting the region’s water.

According to The Associated Press, an estimated 98 percent of the votes have been counted.

California’s 45th District

California’s 45th Congressional District is located in both Orange and Los Angeles counties. As of the latest update, Democratic challenger Derek Tran holds a 581-vote lead over Republican incumbent Rep. Michelle Steel. Tran currently has 50.1 percent of the vote, while Steel has 49.9 percent.

Steel, a two-term incumbent for the seat, started out of the gate with a convincing lead over Tran. The race swiftly tightened as Tran, a lawyer and first-time candidate for public office, took the lead.

Steel was first elected to the House in 2020. A businesswoman and one of the first Korean American women elected to Congress, she said she prioritizes job creation, addressing high crime, tax reduction, securing the border, caring for veterans, solving the homelessness crisis, and making health care and prescription drugs affordable.

Tran promises to preserve Social Security and Medicare funding; increase funding for education; fight for the LGBT, immigrant, and minority communities; and support abortion access.

In California, counties must certify the results of their elections no later than Dec. 5, and the state needs to do so by no later than Dec. 13. Voters can check with the secretary of state regarding the status of their votes.

Iowa’s First District

In Iowa, incumbent Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks is holding onto her slight margin over Democrat Christina Bohannan, who requested a recount.

Miller-Meeks currently has 50.1 percent of the vote versus Bohannan’s 49.9 percent, with a 798-vote margin between them.

Miller-Meeks, who declared victory in the race, is a military veteran, doctor, and former state senator who calls herself a “proven conservative.” Bohannan is a law professor, former engineer, and former state lawmaker who supports lowering costs for families and advocating for small businesses.

The final results in that election must be certified by Iowa’s state board of canvassers no later than Dec. 2.
