Korean-American To Try Again to Win Congressional Seat in California
It will be interesting to see how this race turns out next year after narrowing losing in 2018:
When newly elected members of Congress traveled to Washington for freshman orientation in late November, Young Kim, 56, flew from her Orange County home to join them. Not all of the ballots in California’s 39th Congressional District were counted, but Ms. Kim believed her narrow lead was solid. After shaking hands with other members at white-tablecloth lunches, she posed for her official portrait and a group photo of all new members. Ms. Kim was expected to be one of two Republican women of color and the first Korean-American woman in Congress.
Several days into her rookie duties in late November, with all of the 244,393 ballots in the district counted, the race was officially called: She lost the election. Gil Cisneros, her Democratic opponent and a former Republican who ran on preserving Obamacare, captured 51.6 percent of the vote. Ms. Kim would not be a member of the 116th Congress.
Less than six months later, Ms. Kim announced she would try again. Now, the rematch between Ms. Kim and Mr. Cisneros will test how blue the 2018 wave in Orange County really was. Republicans hope that after the narrow loss, they can reclaim the district and two others in the county, which encompasses the birthplace of Richard Nixon and has long been a bastion for conservatives.
“This district is not as far left as many political pundits in Washington would like people to believe,” Ms. Kim said in an interview. Soon after the loss, Ms. Kim began discussing the possibility of running again with her husband, who is also active in local politics, and their four adult children. It was almost a given that she would try again. “Winners don’t quit,” she said. “That’s why I got back in — we know we can.”

once they counted the votes from the illegals…..
She already won the congressional seat.
She was just an early victim of the leftist Creeping Coup sweeping America.
I hope Trump has a plan to stop voter fraud in 2020… that he shamefully didn’t have in 2018.
Perhaps with all the RINOs in on the plot, the problem is unsolvable.
I have this feeling that people get the government they deserve.
We need to take ownership of our voting habits.
For example, did we care about the school board elections that picked the people who hired the teachers that taught kids climate change is msnmade?
“was expected to be one of two Republican women of color”
I hate that term, I’m darker than she is.
She likely has no chance, this state’s sunk. They vote in the worst of congress, they can’t even read ballot propositions correctly. We even have a supreme court that strickens conversation starters claiming “that’s too important of a matter for the people to decide”. Retirement can’t come soon enough so I can move inwards to the NV/NM/TX region.
You’ll be welcome in Texas.
