The battle over California's 27th congressional district will determine not only who represents its constituents, but potentially, which party controls the House.
The incumbent is Republican Mike Garcia, who replaced Democrat Katie Hill.
"My opponent is someone who aligned himself with the 'big lie' and the insurrectionist movement, all of which culminated in the unfortunate incidents of January 6, and he's never backed away from that," Smith said. Garcia turned down multiple requests for an interview but a spokesperson told Eyewitness News, "Our campaign is running through the tape and keeping our focus where it's always been: fighting inflation, lowering costs for CA 27, defending the Constitution and working to ensure this nation remains the greatest the planet has seen."
Dr. Sara Sadhwani, a politics professor at Pomona College and a member of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission, explained the district has changed.
