The 2022 California Superintendent of Public Instruction election was held on June 7, 2022 to elect the
Superintendent of Public Instruction of
California . Unlike most other elections in the state, the office is not elected under the state's
nonpartisan blanket primary system. Instead, the officially nonpartisan position is elected via a general election, with a
runoff scheduled for November 8, 2022 as no candidate received a majority of the vote.
Incumbent Superintendent
Tony Thurmond , who was endorsed by the
California Democratic Party , easily won re-election to a second term, defeating Lance Christensen, who was endorsed by the
California Republican Party , by 26 points. He was first elected in
2018 with 50.9% of the vote, narrowly defeating
Marshall Tuck in a runoff election.
