The 2026 Santa Clara County District Attorney election was held on June 2, 2026, to elect the district attorney of Santa Clara County, California. Incumbent district attorney Jeff Rosen was re-elected.
Candidates Declared Daniel Chung, assistant district attorney and runner-up in 2022 Jeff Rosen, incumbent district attorney
Campaign When Chung first entered the race, Rosen stripped Chung of his responsibilities in his role as assistant district attorney, though he still received a salary. Chung received over $200,000 annually. While campaigning, Chung focused on a ruling by the Supreme Court of California that disqualified Rosen from retrying pro-Palestine activists who were involved in a Stanford University office takeover two years prior. The court ruled that Rosen compromised his neutrality when he referenced that case at a campaign fundraiser.
