Full profileThe 2026 race
Christopher Demers is one of three candidates in the contested general election for California’s 18th Congressional District. Demers is running with no party affiliation. The other candidates are Democrats Luis Antonio Acevedo-arreguin and Uloma Ekpete.
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. No documented policy positions are on file for any of the three candidates. The candidate records also list no biographies, leaving voters without official details about their education, employment, public service or other personal background.
Campaign finance records offer one point of comparison among the candidates. Those figures show how much each campaign has reported raising and spending, but they do not state what a candidate believes or how the candidate would vote in Congress.
Christopher Demers
Demers is listed as having no party affiliation. The campaign has reported raising $109,850.41 and spending $80,593.76. A cash-on-hand figure is not listed.
No biography is on file for Demers. There are also no documented positions on issues before Congress or matters affecting California’s 18th District. As a result, the official record does not identify Demers’ views on federal spending, taxes, immigration, health care, housing, the environment or other policy areas.
The fundraising and spending totals describe campaign financial activity. They do not serve as policy statements, endorsements or measures of voter support.
Luis Antonio Acevedo-arreguin
Acevedo-arreguin is listed as a Democratic candidate. The campaign has reported raising $18,368.65 and spending $15,792.59. A cash-on-hand figure is not listed.
No biography is on file for Acevedo-arreguin. There are also no documented positions on issues before Congress or matters affecting California’s 18th District. The official record therefore does not identify Acevedo-arreguin’s views on federal spending, taxes, immigration, health care, housing, the environment or other policy areas.
As with the other candidates, the campaign finance totals show reported financial activity. They do not establish the candidate’s priorities or level of support among voters.
Uloma Ekpete
Ekpete is listed as a Democratic candidate. The campaign has reported raising $0 and spending $0. A cash-on-hand figure is not listed.
No biography is on file for Ekpete. There are also no documented positions on issues before Congress or matters affecting California’s 18th District. The official record therefore does not identify Ekpete’s views on federal spending, taxes, immigration, health care, housing, the environment or other policy areas.
The reported $0 totals describe the campaign finance record. They do not state Ekpete’s policy views, campaign plans or level of voter support.
What the official records establish
The three candidates differ in party listing and reported campaign financial activity. Demers has no party affiliation, while Acevedo-arreguin and Ekpete are Democrats. Demers reports the largest amount raised and spent, followed by Acevedo-arreguin and then Ekpete.
None of the candidates has a listed cash-on-hand figure, biography or documented policy position. Voters therefore cannot use these records to compare the candidates’ personal backgrounds or positions on specific issues. The campaign finance totals should also not be treated as a current campaign balance because no cash-on-hand amounts are listed.
The next points to watch are updates to candidate information, campaign finance filings and any documented policy positions before the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. Those developments could give voters more information for comparing all three candidates without indicating how the election will turn out.
