Shervin Aazami
U.S. House, California Congressional District 32
From Ballotpedia: "Shervin Aazami (Democratic Party) is running for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 32nd Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
Shervin is running in the Primary against Brad Sherman who might not be an endorsed Progressive, but definitely is on board with at least some Progressive policies (Green New Deal, etc.). Brand New Congress is actively endorsing Shervin, and possibly want to moved the seat more to the left. Progressives should get out and vote for Shervin in the Primary June 7th to insure that he goes to the General Election in November 2022.
David Kim
U.S. House, California Congressional District 34
From Ballotpedia: "David Kim (Democratic Party) is running for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 34th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
This appears to be a rematch between the current incumbent and David in the Primary and possibly also, in the General Election November 8th.
Ted Lieu
U.S. House, California Congressional District 36
From Ballotpedia: "Ted Lieu (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing California's 33rd Congressional District. He assumed office on January 3, 2015. His current term ends on January 3, 2023.
Lieu (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the U.S. House to represent California's 36th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
There are 8 candidates running in the CA Primary this June. It is important that CA Progressives in Ted's District make sure that he wins the Primary so he can win in the General Election in November.
Mark Takano
U.S. House, California Congressional District 39
From Ballotpedia: "Mark Takano (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing California's 41st Congressional District. He assumed office on January 3, 2013. His current term ends on January 3, 2023.
Takano (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the U.S. House to represent California's 39th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
Mark faces six Republican challengers in the Jun 7th CA mixed party primary. Progressives and Democrats need to get out and vote in the primary, and then again in the November General Election because the District seems to have a substantial Republican element.
Maxine Waters
U.S. House, California Congressional District 43
From Ballotpedia: "Maxine Waters (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing California's 43rd Congressional District. She assumed office on January 3, 2013. Her current term ends on January 3, 2023.
Waters (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the U.S. House to represent California's 43rd Congressional District. She is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
Maxine has 4 challengers in the CA primary, but based on her past year popularity it is likely she will skate to a win this year.
Nanette Barragan
U.S. House, California Congressional District 44
From Ballotpedia: "Nanette Barragán (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing California's 44th Congressional District. She assumed office on January 3, 2017. Her current term ends on January 3, 2023.Barragán (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the U.S. House to represent California's 44th Congressional District. She is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
A likely win in the Progressive column. Nanette has won her district in the past with 60% of the vote.
Katie Porter
U.S. House, California Congressional District 45
From Ballotpedia: "Katie Porter (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing California's 45th Congressional District. She assumed office on January 3, 2019. Her current term ends on January 3, 2023.
Porter (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the U.S. House to represent California's 47th Congressional District. She is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022.:"
A Protege of Elizabeth Warren, Katie has proven herself to be a Progressive firebrand in Congress. Progressives will want to keep her there, so it is important to get out to support her. She is the first Democrat to be elected in her District.
Mike Ortega
U.S. House, California Congressional District 46
From Ballotpedia: "Michael Ortega (Democratic Party) is running for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 46th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
Mike is on the June 7th primary ballot with the Democratic incumbent, three Republican challengers and one Independent challenger. Mike needs Progressive support NOW to insure that he will come in in the top two in the Democratic primary. He will also need Progressive support going into the General Election on November 8th to insure he wins this election.
Mike Levin
U.S. House, California Congressional District 49
From Ballotpedia: "Mike Levin (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing California's 49th Congressional District. He assumed office on January 3, 2019. His current term ends on January 3, 2023.
Levin (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the U.S. House to represent California's 49th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022.
Mike has the Incumbent's advantage, although he has plenty of competition in the Jun Primary. He will face one Democrat and five Republican challengers. The District has leaned Democrat in previous elections. Mike won his primary and will face a Republican challenger in the General Election on November 8th. Progressives in his District should plan to get out the vote for him and to vote for him in the General Election.
Eleni Kounalakis
Lieutenant Governor, California
From Ballotpedia: "Eleni Kounalakis (Democratic Party) is the Lieutenant Governor of California. She assumed office in 2019. Her current term ends on January 2, 2023.
Kounalakis (Democratic Party) is running for re-election for Lieutenant Governor of California. She is on the ballot in the primary on June 7, 2022."
Eleni has the incumbent's advantage in a field of 8 candidates vying for the office. She is also the Lt Governor for the very popular Governor Gavin Newsome. Hopefully she will be able to pull a decisive win in the Jun 7th Primary.
