Key Races
21st District › | WinnerValadao +0.89 |
---|---|
Don’t expect to see David Valadao invoking the president as he wages a tough, personal campaign to win back the Central Valley House seat he narrowly lost in 2018 to T.J. Cox, the Democratic candidate. Instead, Mr. Valadao has been portraying himself as a moderate Republican who can bridge partisan divides, while Mr. Cox has countered with a campaign tying his challenger to President Trump. | |

25th District › | WinnerGarcia +0.10 |
Katie Hill, a Democratic newcomer, won this seat in 2018 as part of California’s “blue wave.” But her resignation a year ago reopened the field to a wide range of contenders, including Mike Garcia, a Republican former military pilot, who easily beat Christy Smith, a Democratic member of the State Assembly, in a May special election. That win for the seat was just on a temporary basis, though, and the two are now fighting a rematch. | |
