Political party strength in California
California is largely a Democratic stronghold and one of the three largest Democratic states in presidential elections alongside New York and Illinois.
The following table indicates the party of elected officials in the U.S. state of California:
- Governor
- Lieutenant Governor
- Attorney General
- Secretary of State
- Treasurer
- Controller
- Insurance Commissioner
- California Superintendent of Public Instruction
The table also indicates the historical party composition in the:
- Board of Equalization
- State Senate
- State Assembly
- State delegation to the U.S. Senate
- State delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives
For years in which a presidential election was held, the table indicates which party's nominees received the state's electoral votes.
Note that ties on the Board of Equalization are broken by the vote of the State Controller.
The parties are as follows: American (A), Anti-Monopolist (AM), Constitutional Union (CU), Democratic (D), Independent (I), Nonpartisan (NP), National Union (NU), Progressive (P), Republican (R), Whig (W), and a tie or coalition within a group of elected officials.
