In the upcoming election for California's 13th District, the race features a rematch between Republican incumbent John Duarte and Democratic nominee Adam Gray. John Duarte, at 58 years old, is a graduate of San Diego State University and currently serves as a U.S. Representative, while also managing his roles as a farmer and businessman. His opponent, Adam Gray, is 47 years old and an alumnus of the University of California at Santa Barbara. Gray works as a professor at UC Merced and owns a small business.

The United States House of Representatives currently comprises 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats, and 3 vacancies. In California's 13th District, the Hispanic population makes up 71% of the district, Non-Hispanic Whites account for 14%, Asians represent 8%, and Blacks constitute 5%.

In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won in this district by a margin of 11%. The 2022 House race was closely contested, resulting in a narrow victory for Duarte by less than 1%. The district is considered highly competitive, and will play a key role in determining which party controls the House of Representatives.
