The 2022 California State Controller election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the California State Controller. Due to strict absolute lifetime term limit laws, incumbent Democratic State Controller Betty Yee was ineligible to run for a third term. Democrat Malia Cohen won the election, defeating Republican Lanhee Chen.[1] Despite Chen's loss, the race was the closest of the 2022 elections in California, and Chen received more votes than any Republican candidate in the 2022 national election cycle.[2] Chen flipped ten counties,[a] the most that any candidate had flipped in California that year. Chen also won four congressional districts held by Democrats[b], while Cohen won no congressional districts held by Republicans.
