California is home to six of the 38 most competitive House races, according to a Reuters analysis.

Five of the six competitive California seats are held by Republicans , enough for Democrats to win House control if they were to sweep all five and not lose any other races.

Democratic former state lawmaker Rudy Salas is mounting his second challenge to Republican U.S. Rep. David Valadao .

California House ads feature more attacks on local issues like the state's gas tax, a main topic in the Valadao and Salas campaigns.

Republican groups have already outspent Salas and Democratic groups on broadcast TV by at least $636,000 .

The absence of the presidential campaigns also poses challenges.
