Rep. Tom McClintock, who has represented California's 4th District since 2009, won his re-election bid against fellow Republican Art Moore in Tuesday's election.

As a result of California's open primary system, both Republicans advanced to the general election. Moore, a moderate Republican, argued throughout the campaign that McClintock is too conservative. (The congressman's voting record has been praised by far-right groups like FreedomWorks and Club for Growth.)

Prior to his election to Congress, McClintock served in both chambers of the state legislature.
