Republican Mike Garcia Has Declared Victory in the CA-25 Special Election
Mike Garcia has won the special election to fill the seat vacated by Katie Hill, making him the first California Republican to pick up a congressional seat from a Democrat since 1998. Hill had flipped the seat from Republican Steve Knight when she won in 2018, and Democrats had hoped to keep the 25th in their column.

This weekend, I was invited to a meet-and-greet for Senate District 25 Write-in Candidate Evan Wecksell.
Current District 25 State Senator Anthony Portantino is up for re-election, and would be running unopposed had it not been for Evan, and one other write-in candidate stepping up to the plate.
Thank God, because Portantino has to go. he has mostly been a rubber stamp for the progressive…

While @cenkuygur did not address his "ridiculous" comment re: Sikh religious practices in his response to our letter, he pledged to protect the religious freedom of Sikhs and other minorities if elected to US Congress in CA-25
Cenk Uygur is co-host of an online news talk show called “The Young Turks” (which also enjoyed a limited television run). A left-leaning political show, Uygur presents opinions and analyses on various issues of the day. He is also running for US Congress in California’s 25th Congressional District, located in north Los Angeles County.
On an episode of The Young Turks that aired September 27,…
Progressive pundit Cenk Uygur, founder and host at the digital news outlet The Young Turks, filed to run for Congress in California’s 25 Congressional District, which is the seat that former Democratic Rep. Katie Hill resigned from last month after nude photos of her were published by a conservative blog and the Daily Mail.
The Cenk for Congress filing popped up on Wednesday on the FEC website, a day after Uygur endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president; he also teased some “dramatic news on Thursday” and told viewers to “stay tuned.” But he is not commenting publicly on the matter, taking to Twitter shortly after news began circulating about his filed to state, “To all reporters: No comment.”
The district, which covers parts of Los Angeles County and Ventura County, Uygur is eying was vacated on October 28 after her estranged husband leaked and wrote on Facebook about Hill’s open marriage, her affair with a campaign staffer and an alleged affair with a congressional staffer, and her nude photos. The RedState.com blogger behind most of the Hill exposés was revealed by Mediaite to be a Republican campaign consultant who worked for two politicians who attempted runs against Hill, even serving as a campaign manager for a GOP candidate running for Hill’s seat as recently as September.
George Papadopoulos was convicted of lying to the FBI as part of the investigation into Russian influence over the 2016 presidential election.
Claudia Koerner at BuzzFeed News:
George Papadopoulos, the former campaign adviser for Donald Trump who spent 12 days in prison after lying to the FBI, is running to represent the California seat in Congress last held by Katie Hill.
The campaign committee "George Papadopoulos for Congress" filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday, and a campaign website also went live.
On georgeforcongress.com, the campaign said it was seeking to bring California's 25th District back under Republican control. The seat had long been held by Republicans before Hill, a Democrat, won in 2018 as part of a national "blue wave."
"Help fight back against Democrat corruption by joining George's campaign today!" a message on the site said.
The committee's representative didn't immediately respond to questions from BuzzFeed News. And its website was no longer accessible Tuesday night.
