Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has endorsed Assemblyman Vince Fong in the 2024 race for California's 20th District, the seat McCarthy currently holds.

Other candidates running for the seat include Ben Dewell, David Giglio, Nathan Wilkins, Marisa Wood, Andy Morales, and John Burrows, who is endorsed by both the state and county Democratic party.
