WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters in California’s 20th Congressional District can be forgiven if they open their ballots for Tuesday’s election with a sense of déjà vu. Since Republican former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced in December he would step down from his Central Valley seat, voters have already had two opportunities to vote for candidates to complete his term and serve the next full one. Most recently, voters sent Republicans Vince Fong and Mike Boudreaux to the special runoff election on Tuesday. The winner will be seated through the end of the year. Fong and Boudreaux will face off again in November for the next full term, as they also advanced out of the regularly scheduled state primary in early March. Fong was the top vote-getter in both contests. In California, all candidates run on the same primary ballot, regardless of party, and the top two vote-getters advance to the general election. |
