CA-38: Solis (D), Casas (R) set to duke it out for open California House race
Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis (D) and psychologist Pedro Casas (R) advanced to the general election Tuesday in California’s 38th Congressional District, setting up a November showdown for a House seat that election handicappers rate as comfortably favoring Democrats.
Solis led the four-candidate field with 44.4 percent of the vote, while Casas secured a second-place finish with 40.1 percent, according to Decision Desk HQ. Councilmembers Monica Sanchez (D) and Erik Lutz (D) fell behind and were eliminated.
Casas was the lone Republican on the ballot.
California uses a jungle primary system in its elections in lieu of separate Democratic and Republican primaries, meaning all candidates run on one ballot. The top two vote-getters, regardless of party, will advance to November’s general election.
