Republican Kevin Lincoln, who came within 4 points of unseating Democratic Rep. Josh Harder in California’s 9th District last year, is making another run for the competitive seat in the Central Valley.
“As a Marine, I learned the value of service and sacrifice,” Lincoln, the former mayor of Stockton, said Tuesday in a statement launching his campaign.
“As a mayor, I took on the status quo and fought to make our city safer, more affordable and more prosperous,” he said. “Now, I’m stepping forward once again because our families deserve a strong voice in Washington D.C. that understands their struggles and will deliver real results for the Valley.”
