As Labor Day approaches, bringing the semi-official start of this completely unprecedented presidential election season, the vastly altered scene makes the outcomes of several heavily contested California congressional races even more important than usual.Elias: New UC school year will look a lot like the last one
A narrow majority for either party could also decide national policy on other vital issues, but those are among the most prominent. The same six California races remain key. All are taking place almost 3,000 miles from the U.S. Capitol, but their outcomes will have a huge bearing on what happens soon in that legendary structure.
Five of the six seats most likely to be decided by very thin margins this fall are now in Republican hands, contributing to the GOP’s current thin House majority. In another hot Orange County race, incumbent Republican Michelle Steel seems likely to beat back Derek Tran, the son of Vietnamese refugees, despite her ready approval of almost everything Trump does. After a heated Democratic primary last March, Tran still lacks needed name recognition.
Yet another rematch in parts of Kings, Tulrae and Kern counties pits former Democratic state legislator Rudy Salas against Republican Rep. David Valadao, who keeps fending off Salas, for whom the Latino vote has yet to turn out sufficiently to help. Will it this time?
