Central Valley district will vote for a new member of Congress twice in three weeks
Briefly

Voters in California's Central Valley will go to the polls twice in three weeks this spring to select a new representative in Congress, following the resignation of former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield).
After McCarthy announced his retirement, state Assemblymember Vince Fong said he would run for reelection in the 32nd Assembly District in Bakersfield and filed paperwork for the state legislative race. Then Fong changed his mind and filed to run for McCarthy's seat in Congress, only to be barred from the ballot by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, a Democrat, who said state law prohibits candidates from running for two offices in one election.
