Chu Favored in Today’s CA-30 Special Election
Endorsements, a hefty war chest and an effective absentee ballot program appear to have put Judy Chu (D) in position to succeed former Rep.-turned-Labor Secretary Hilda Solis (D-CA) in today’s CA-30 special election, according to The Hill.
“But there are several factors that could throw a roadblock into the heavily favored Chu’s path: the large candidate field; the fact that another candidate with the same last name appears next to her on the ballot; expected low voter turnout; and virtually no public polling conducted in the race.”
CQ Politics notes there are “few ideological differences” separating any of the candidates running today.
