In the fight to control Congress, one of the biggest battlegrounds is heavily Democratic California. Despite the state’s reputation as a liberal monolith, there are scattered pockets of conservative strength.
Despite a Democratic tilt in his district, the former Navy combat pilot has won two consecutive elections, but the last two years ago was by just 333 votes.
He’s a familiar name and the longest-serving Republican in the California congressional delegation. He has a fundraising advantage, but his support from former President Donald Trump poses complications in a district that now includes many transplanted Los Angeles residents and liberal Palm Springs, which has a large concentration of LGBTQ voters.
Porter is a prolific fundraiser and has pumped over $24 million into the contest, compared to about $2 million for Baugh. She’s been stressing abortion rights and her work as a consumer advocate, including fighting “abusive” credit card fees. Both candidates have depicted each other as extreme. Coastal California typically leans Democratic, but the race is seen as a toss-up. Democrats hold only a slight registration edge in the 49th District.
Steel also has distributed flyers depicting Chen as a communist sympathizer, while Chen has said his grandmother fled China to escape communist rule.
