Vince Fong moves forward to general election for McCarthy’s vacant House seat
Republican Assemblyman Vince Fong Advances to General Election
Republican Assemblyman Vince Fong has emerged victorious in the race to replace former Rep. Kevin McCarthy in California’s 20th Congressional District. The Associated Press confirmed Fong’s advancement to the general election nearly a week after the polls closed in the Golden State. Fong wasted no time in declaring his victory, expressing his gratitude to the Central Valley residents who placed their trust in him to represent them in Congress.
“I am humbled and grateful that so many Central Valley residents have put their trust in me to represent them in Congress,” Fong shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “While there are still many ballots to count, voters have sent a clear message that they are ready for experienced, trusted, tested leadership in Washington D.C.”
Fong, who was endorsed by McCarthy and former President Trump, has a proven track record of delivering results for the Central Valley during his years in public service. He vows to continue fighting for crucial issues such as border security, water infrastructure funding, and the protection of local energy producers. Fong’s message has resonated strongly with Central Valley voters, who are demanding meaningful solutions.
As of Tuesday, only 62% of the votes had been counted, with Fong leading the field with 38%. In California, the top two candidates, regardless of party, advance to the general election. The Associated Press has yet to announce the other candidate who will be advancing.
Currently, Republican Mike Boudreaux holds the lead over Democrat Marisa Wood in the battle for second place. Boudreaux has secured 25.8% of the votes, while Wood closely follows with 22.1%.
Fong’s journey to the ballot was not without obstacles. California Secretary of State Shirley Weber initially deemed him ineligible to run for the seat due to his prior filing for reelection to his State Assembly seat. However, Fong fought back and won the legal battle, allowing him to remain on the ballot for the congressional seat.
With McCarthy’s early resignation, a special election to complete his term is also on the horizon. Fong is confident that his momentum will carry him through the upcoming special election primary, which is scheduled to take place in a week.
“I look forward to continuing this momentum through the March 19th special election and all the way to November,” Fong expressed in his post on X. “I also want to thank each of my opponents for running spirited campaigns. Together, we will work to fight for the Central Valley.”
The general election, for which Fong has qualified, is set for November 5th. Additionally, the general election for the special election is scheduled for May 21st.
