Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the candidate who is officially declared the winner of the 2026 election for California's 10th State Senate district. The official results will be verified through the California Secretary of State's website: California Secretary of State - Election Results.

Background

The incumbent, Senator Aisha Wahab, was elected in 2022, becoming the first Afghan-American and Muslim woman to serve in the California State Senate. Prior to her tenure in the Senate, she served on the Hayward City Council from 2018 to 2022. (en.wikipedia.org)
