Voters in California’s 36th Congressional District have a novel opportunity: They could switch their representative without the bother of having to learn a new name
In one corner, we have Rep. Raul Ruiz, a 47-year-old doctor who has solidified his grip on his seat over the better part of a decade in Congress. In the years since winning office, he’s carved out a left-of-center path, supporting party tenets like Obamacare while eschewing progressive banner issues like single-payer healthcare.
“Obviously that’s going to create some confusion — to whose benefit or regret I don’t know,” he added of the identical names. Ruiz the Democrat also comes from an incumbent’s position of strength. His campaign committee had about $2 million stashed away as of late June, and Democrats retain a seven-point registration edge in his district. He has benefited from a more Democrat-friendly map drawn by a state commission in the last redistricting process.
