WASHINGTON _ Democrats and Republicans have made it clear where the congressional battlegrounds are in California for 2020, and nearly all nine contested seats have multiple declared challengers trying to unseat incumbents.
Just two targeted districts _ the ones held by Reps. TJ Cox, D-Fresno, and Devin Nunes, R-Tulare _ still don't have a single public challenger.
It may feel like the 2018 midterm election just ended, but a late start for 2020 could make it difficult for the opposing party to unseat either congressman, especially during a presidential election year when voters' attention and political fundraising dollars will be fixed at the top of the ticket.
