Background

Tony Strickland, a Republican, currently serves as the incumbent senator for California's 36th State Senate district. He assumed office on March 11, 2025, after winning a special election triggered by the resignation of Janet Nguyen. Strickland previously served in the California State Assembly from 1998 to 2004 and in the State Senate from 2008 to 2012. He also held a position on the Huntington Beach City Council prior to his current tenure in the State Senate. (ballotpedia.org)

The 36th State Senate district encompasses parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties, including cities such as Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and Cerritos. (ballotpedia.org)

Considerations

As of July 2025, no candidates have officially declared their intention to run against Strickland in the 2026 election. Potential challengers may emerge as the election date approaches. Historically, the district has leaned Republican, but electoral dynamics can shift based on candidate profiles, campaign strategies, and broader political trends.
