A California legislator backed by former President Donald Trump and a sheriff who promises to harden the nation’s porous borders are facing off in a special U.S. House election
to complete the remaining term of deposed former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which runs through January. State Assembly member Vince Fong, a onetime McCarthy aide who also has his endorsement, and Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux, both Republicans, are among a cluster of candidates in the solidly conservative district hoping to fill the seat the speaker left vacant when he resigned last year.
With nine names on the ballot, it appears unlikely any candidate will surpass that threshold to claim the seat outright Tuesday. Democrats on the ballot include public schoolteacher Marisa Wood, who also sought the full term. It's possible voters could see Fong and Boudreaux on four different ballots between March and November.
