Assembly District 80 is up for grabs this June 7, but not just once, but twice. The two-for-one special election runoff and standard primary election features redrawn district lines and four candidates looking to represent San Diego’s South Bay.
After Lorena Gonzalez stepped down from the seat in January, a battle to represent it got under way. First there was a special election primary on April 5. No candidate got the majority vote, so now there’s a runoff on June 7. That’s the same day as a separate general election for the same seat.

The November winner will represent the district for the next two years.
