Rural California is seeing its craziest election in years. Can a progressive win it?
AI Summary
In rural northern California's first congressional district, a competitive election is underway following the death of Republican incumbent Doug LaMalfa. Voters will participate in two elections: one to fill the remainder of LaMalfa's term using the old district map, and another in November for a full term using newly redrawn, more Democratic-leaning boundaries. Audrey Denney, a Democrat, is campaigning to win both elections, focusing on issues like healthcare costs and wildfire insurance. The outcome of these elections is significant because the district has been Republican-held for decades, and the balance of power in the closely divided House of Representatives is at stake. The district faces challenges including housing shortages and wildfires.
