California’s Newly‑Redistricted 14th Congressional District Sees Democratic Contest
By KTVU Staff
On Election Day, voters in California and across the United States cast ballots in key races, including the U.S. House District 14 in the South Bay. The district was formerly represented by Rep. Eric Swalwell, who faced sexual‑assault accusations earlier in the year. In an August special election, voters elected Democrat Aisha Wahab, a former state senator, to finish Swalwell’s term, which ends in January. The November 3 election will decide who will represent the newly‑redistricted District 14 for the next term. Wahab is running against fellow Democrat Melissa Hernandez, a BART Board member and former mayor of Dublin. The Associated Press provided the election results for this story.
