Eleven candidates are running in the top-two primary for California’s 20th Congressional District on March 5, 2024. Three candidates lead in media attention: Mike Boudreaux (R), Vince Fong (R), and David Giglio (R).
The primary is taking place after former Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R) resignation in December 2023. McCarthy resigned in the wake of an October 2023 vote that removed him as speaker of the House.
Boudreaux, a 37-year Tulare County Sheriff’s Department member, says he respects McCarthy’s record in office but would offer voters a new alternative. Boudreaux says he will draw from his experience as sheriff, including his policy disagreements with the state government, to advocate for the San Joaquin Valley in Congress.
