In 2020, the GOP flipped three of the state’s congressional seats.
— California’s nonpartisan redistricting commission bucked the national trend last year by creating a new congressional map with at least eight competitive seats, offering pickup opportunities to both Democrats and Republicans vying for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Most of Tuesday’s real action will be in the House races. Under California’s “top two” primary system, the top two vote-getters in each congressional race, regardless of party, will advance to the November ballot. Turnout so far looks low, even though every voter in California received a ballot in the mail.This new GOP-leaning district extends from Sacramento suburbs to Lake Tahoe and the mountain communities of the Eastern Sierra.
Valadao’s opponents believe he may be more vulnerable to erosion within the GOP base this year because he voted to impeach Trump after the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol, even though the former president has not intervened in the race. But Valadao, whose family owns dairies and farmland in Kings County, is leaning into his image as an independent voice for the Central Valley as he advocates a state gas tax suspension and promises to be a bulwark against the “radical left.
