CA-22: State Senator Announces: California state Senator Melissa Hurtado (D-Sanger) who, in 2018, was the youngest woman elected to the Senate in state history (30 years old) but was re-elected by only a 13-vote margin last November, announced that she will enter the 22nd District congressional race. Previously, she had filed an exploratory committee.
In the congressional race’s jungle primary, she will face US Rep. David Valadao (R-Hanford) and former state Assemblyman and 2022 congressional general election finalist Rudy Salas (D). The latter man, due to his close run against Rep. Valadao last November, looks to be the favorite, but Sen. Hurtado’s district encompasses 96% of the 22nd CD. California is one of two states, Texas being the other, where the state Senate districts are bigger than congressional seats. Rep. Valadao, who represents the second most Democratic seat – D+10 according to the FiveThirtyEight data organization – was re-elected to a fifth non-consecutive term in November with a 52-48% victory margin over Mr. Salas. The California primary is scheduled for Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024. The top two finishers will advance to the general election. This district will then host another highly competitive general election. CO-3: New Poll Finds Rep. Boebert Trailing: A Keating Research poll conducted for Democratic challenger Adam Frisch in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District (August dates not published; 801 CO-3 likely voters), often referred to as the “Western Slope” seat, finds US Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Silt) trailing her 2022 opponent by a slight 50-48% margin. The previous campaign ended in a surprisingly tight 546-vote margin for the Congresswoman who was first elected in 2020. The ’22 result proved to be the closest House contest in the country. The ballot test tally is not particularly surprising since Mr. Frisch has already spent almost $2.3 million in the current election cycle of the $4.4 million he has raised. Therefore, some expected Frisch’s margin to be greater in early polling. In order to advance into the 2024 general election, Mr. Frisch must first clear the June 25, 2024, Democratic primary where he faces at least four opponents, including Grand Junction City Councilwoman Anna Stout. The FiveThirtyEight data organization rates CO-3 as R+15, while Dave’s Redistricting App calculates the partisan lean at 52.6R - 43.3D. Comments are closed.
