The California assemblymember is now on a glide path to winning a full term in November’s general election.
California Assemblymember Vince Fong won a special election Tuesday to finish out former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s term in the House, paving the way for him to claim a second victory in November’s general.
With his win over fellow Republican and Tulare Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, Fong has secured a potent incumbent’s advantage heading into the November election for a full term. A victory there would position Fong to represent the solidly red Southern California district for decades. McCarthy’s fall from the speakership and abrupt resignation last year spurred a fierce intra-GOP scramble for his seat. Much of the Republican establishment coalesced behind Fong, including McCarthy — his former boss — and former President Donald Trump.in portraying Fong as an extension of the Bakersfield political machine that launched McCarthy.
