Full profileThe CA-51 contest
Ricardo Cabrera is running as a Republican for the U.S. House in California’s 51st Congressional District. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
Cabrera is one of three candidates listed in the contested race. Michael Bucy is running with the IAP designation, and Stan Caplan is running as a Democrat. The candidate list therefore presents voters with three names and three different party designations.
The race entry identifies the office as U.S. House, the district as CA-51 and the election stage as the general election. It does not list an incumbent or identify any of the three candidates as holding the seat.
Candidate backgrounds
Michael Bucy: Bucy is listed as the IAP candidate. No candidate biography is on file, so the entry contains no additional background beyond Bucy’s name, party designation and candidacy in the CA-51 general election.
Stan Caplan: Caplan is listed as the Democratic candidate. No candidate biography is on file, so the entry contains no additional background beyond Caplan’s name, party designation and candidacy in the CA-51 general election.
Ricardo Cabrera: Cabrera is listed as the Republican candidate. No candidate biography is on file, so the entry contains no additional background beyond Cabrera’s name, party designation and candidacy in the CA-51 general election.
As a result, the candidate entries do not identify personal histories, prior offices or other biographical details for Bucy, Caplan or Cabrera.
Documented policy positions
No documented policy positions are on file for any of the three candidates. Bucy has no listed stance on a policy issue. Caplan has no listed stance on a policy issue. Cabrera also has no listed stance on a policy issue.
The candidates’ party designations are part of their entries, but a party label is not a documented position from an individual candidate. Without a recorded stance, none of the three can be described here as supporting or opposing a particular proposal.
That applies equally across the field: there is no official position entry distinguishing Cabrera from Bucy or Caplan on an issue in the race.
Campaign finance entries
The campaign finance figures currently listed are the same for all three candidates:
- Michael Bucy: $0 raised and $0 spent. No cash-on-hand figure is on file.
- Stan Caplan: $0 raised and $0 spent. No cash-on-hand figure is on file.
- Ricardo Cabrera: $0 raised and $0 spent. No cash-on-hand figure is on file.
These categories are separate. Funds raised track incoming campaign money, funds spent track campaign expenditures, and cash on hand is listed independently. For each candidate, the first two categories stand at zero while the third has no figure on file.
Election details
The Nov. 3, 2026, election is listed as a general election for the U.S. House seat in CA-51. The contest includes Bucy, Caplan and Cabrera, and it is marked as contested.
The current entries give all three candidates equal financial totals and the same status for biographies and policy positions. Their names and party designations are the principal distinctions recorded in the race.
