Myrna Melgar secured her position by garnering 53% of the vote, aided by a changing District 7 that became more progressive after boundary redistricting in 2022.
Matt Boschetto expressed confidence in his campaign, noting, 'We've shown how close we are to unseating an incumbent,' highlighting the contrasts between his platform and Melgar’s.
Despite being a newcomer, Boschetto claimed that being 1,914 votes behind an incumbent is a significant achievement, reinforcing the notion that political dynamics are shifting.
District 7's transformation post-redistricting, gaining progressive elements, was pivotal in Melgar's victory, indicating a shift towards younger, more liberal constituents in the area.
