2016 United States House of Representatives elections in California
The following are the predictions for House districts where at least one out of the Cook Political Report, Daily Kos Elections, the Rothenberg Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and RealClearPolitics did not agree that the district was "safe Democratic" or "safe Republican" (59 races total as of October 27). Incumbent Lois Capps did not seek reelection, signified by parentheses around her name. Note that safeness of a district is not necessarily a prediction as to outcome, nor final margin of victory.

He said, "I am incredibly saddened and disappointed in learning what my dad did. While I deeply love my father, it's clear he has made a grave mistake that will have real consequences for him. Neither I, no anyone involved with my campaign, was aware of my father's activities until we learned about them from the U.S. Attorney's Office." Bera also said that he returned the illegal contributions to the U.S. Treasury.
On August 18, Bob Bera was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000.
