California voters poised to decide primary races for governor, senator and 52 House seats

Just The News: On Tuesday, seven states are holding primary elections — more than any other primary date in 2022.

California will be home to more races than any other state — with 52 House races, a senator running in two separate races, and a competitive showdown for Los Angeles mayor. 

California uses a top-two primary primary system, meaning all candidates, regardless of party, run on the same ballot and the top two finishers advance to the general election. This can mean that in deep blue or red districts — or even sometimes in competitive ones — one party gets entirely locked out of the general election.

Three Republicans are running in Democrat-leaning congressional districts: Rep. Michelle Steel in the 45th, Rep. David Valadao in the 22nd, and Rep. Mike Garcia in the 27th. All three races are labeled toss-ups by Inside Elections.

In the new 40th Congressional District — roughly congruent with the Orange County area —GOP Rep. Young Kim is seeking reelection, though she currently represents only about one-fifth of the redrawn district’s population. Kim will likely face Democrat Asif Mahmood, a physician, in November’s general election. Mahmood has been encouraging local Republicans to support the underfunded campaign of Kim’s GOP primary opponent, Greg Raths, a city councilman running to the right of Kim, on the assumption that Raths would be easier to beat in the fall. more

  1. how many MORONS in California drove to the polls and paid almost $7.00 a gallon for gas on the way, drove past brown grass lawns due to the artificial “drought” then went to the grocery to buy breakfast that costs 40% more than it did just 6 months ago and yet they all voted for NEWSOME when they got to the polling place.

    UGH can’t fix STUPID!

    “I tore my ballot up (DH too). Voting is a joke any more. I trust no one. I didn’t vote for this shit show but I got it anyways.”

    You didn’t?

    Well, I read that you DID vote, and straight Democrat too.

    I read it…right after I wrote it.

    Imagine that!

    *giggle!*
