Wasserman stressed that there were still open questions about the strength of Biden’s support among Latino voters. A scenario where Trump manages to make inroads with those voters would favor Duarte, Wasserman said. The district had low Democratic turnout in 2022 but favored Biden by 11 points in 2020, according to data from California Target Book. Calvert has a history of voting against LGBTQ+ rights, as The Times has previously reported, but said during the 2022 campaign that his views had since evolved.

That means the search must begin all over again for a successor to former Chicago U.S. Attorney John Lausch, who left office in March 2023. Given the upcoming presidential election in November — and that U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president — a new nominee for one of Illinois’ most powerful posts might not be named until 2025 by the election’s winner. Public safety and immigration will also likely factor into the campaign. Michelle Williams Court has served as a judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court since 2012, following her appointment by then-Gov. She has handled a wide range of assignments, including the case that resulted in entertainer Kanye West changing his name to Ye.

That record will almost certainly come under fire in the Coachella Valley as he faces off against Rollins, a gay man who lives with his partner in Palm Springs. The rematch between Republican Rep. Ken Calvert and Democrat Will Rollins is one of several 2024 California races that will help determine which party controls the House. The Riverside County seat also became slightly more favorable to Democrats in the last round of redistricting, with the addition of Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage on its eastern edge. “I think Tran has much more of an uphill battle to be able to get his issues and his name into voters’ minds,” DeSipio said. That will be compounded by two things, said UC Irvine political science professor Louis DeSipio.

Voters here favored Biden over Trump by 13 percentage points in 2020, making Valadao one of the most vulnerable GOP incumbents in the country. As in the 13th District to the north, economic issues and inflation will likely be top of mind for these voters. Anne Hwang has been a superior court judge in Los Angeles County since 2019.

Attorneys with at least 2 years of civil or criminal litigation experience are not required to take Introductory TAP to qualify for referral to a prosecutorial agency. However, Introductory TAP is strongly recommended for all attorneys who want to be referred through Traditional TAP to a prosecutorial agency. "Self-pour offers a fun alternative to the traditional taproom experience and in addition, it reduces wait time and touchpoints with staff," a news release promoting the tap house said. "With iPourIt self-serve technology, customers can pour their own and serve as little or as much as they please, sampling various styles without having to purchase an entire pint."

During the March primary, fellow Democrat Joanna Weiss also battered him over a 2023 DUI arrest, a controversy Baugh and Republicans are expected to focus on during the November election. While Republicans currently have a razor-thin majority in the House, partisan makeup of next year’s Congress will almost certainly be decided this November — at least in part — by a handful of hypercompetitive California races. Cynthia Valenzuela has been a judge on the California State Bar Court in Los Angeles since her appointment by the California Supreme Court in 2016.

The suspect allegedly shattered a glass door at the Getty House in the Hancock Park neighborhood in Los Angeles Sunday morning and broke in while Bass, her daughter, son-in-law and grandchild were inside, according to investigators. The suspect – Ephraim Matthew Hunter, 29 – was charged with felony residential burglary with a person present charge, felony vandalism charge and one prior strike from a previous case in Massachusetts, Gascon said. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon has filed felony charges against the man accused of breaking into Mayor Karen Bass’ home on Sunday morning.

Steel has a massive fundraising advantage, with more than $3 million on hand compared to Tran’s nearly $200,000. As a first-time candidate emerging from a crowded primary, Tran faces the challenge of building name recognition against a candidate who is already well known in the district. Steel, a Korean immigrant and one of the first Korean women elected to Congress, previously served as an Orange County supervisor and California State Board of Equalization member. Still, the district would be easier for Democrats to hold onto with Porter’s incumbency and financial reserves, according to Wasserman. Whitesides has far more money in his arsenal, with $3 million on hand to Garcia’s roughly $1.8 million reserve, according to the most recent campaign finance filings.

Five of the six seats are currently held by Republicans, with four of those five in congressional districts that President Biden won in the 2020 election.

Tulare County dairy farmer Rep. David Valadao has been in office since 2013, save for a two-year interlude when he was temporarily ousted by Democratic challenger T.J. Valadao regained his seat in 2020 and was one of 10 House Republicans to vote for Trump’s impeachment after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Once a safely ruby-red Republican domain, California’s 22nd Congressional District is in a part of the San Joaquin Valley that has grown increasingly purple in recent years, with Democrats now holding the registration advantage. Gray significantly outraised Duarte in the most recent filing period ending on March 31, but Duarte still has more cash on hand, with $1.8 million, to Gray’s $1.2 million reserve, according to federal filings. The majority of the district remains on Calvert’s home turf of the Inland Empire, but the desert additions now give it one of the largest concentrations of LGBTQ+ voters in the nation. Calvert — who has represented parts of the Inland Empire for more than three decades — narrowly staved off Rollins last cycle in a race that was far more competitive than expected.

"I think to put a taproom in a (112-year-old two-story) home is unique. When people come in, it's like coming into my own home. I want them to experience it like they're coming into my home." We received friendly and prompt service and hands-on help with navigating the taps and menu a really neat experience for beer, wine & cocktails fans alike. Acting U.S. Attorney Morris “Sonny” Pasqual, a well-respected veteran prosecutor, has led the office since Lausch’s departure. The feds secured a series of high-profile verdicts under Pasqual’s leadership in 2023, and preparations are underway for the October trial of ex-Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, a Chicago Democrat indicted under Lausch. The Sun-Times noted last month that Perry’s nomination had already been obstructed by Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” long enough to raise questions about whether she would actually be confirmed as Chicago’s top federal prosecutor.

Trump won the district in 2020 by a little more than one percentage point, according to data from California Target Book. This is yet another rematch from 2022, with Democratic former federal prosecutor Will Rollins once again hoping to unseat Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Corona), the longest-serving member of California’s congressional delegation. The fact that Tran is the son of Vietnamese immigrants and has a Vietnamese surname could help him build name recognition but won’t be determinative, DeSipio said. The district includes Orange County’s Little Saigon and Vietnamese Americans account for about 17% of voters, according to Political Data, Inc. The coastal Orange County district includes the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine and Newport Beach. It’s a majority white district, with not insubstantial Asian and Latino populations.
