In California’s 49th Congressional District, incumbent Democratic Rep. Mike Levin held a roughly 3-point lead over GOP challenger Matt Gunderson as of Monday in San Diego County ’s swing district that serves as a case study for the two parties’ shifting coalitions.
“We always knew this would be a competitive race,” Levin said in a statement Monday. “We fought hard, knocked thousands of doors, and called thousands of voters. We ran on a record of delivering bipartisan results and bringing more than $1 billion to the district. I am confident that once all the ballots are counted, my record will be among the top reasons why we win this election.
“It's probably something that will continue, just because as political realignments happen, they take usually a generation, sometimes two generations,” Herron said. “They don't happen that often, so I anticipate it will probably move in that direction as the parties kind of continue to build their new coalitions.”
“We'll have to see what the incoming administration does and what the governance approach is in terms of whether or not the people in that district like that direction or don't like that direction,” Herron said, adding, “The candidate can matter. The amount of money spent can matter, what the mood of the electorate is on a year-to-year basis can make the difference.”
