If he runs in his original district, he&rsquo;ll face a newly Democratic district.<\/p>\n<p>California voters passed Gov. Gavin Newsom&rsquo;s (D-CA) Proposition 50 64.4% to 35.4% in November 2025, allowing lawmakers to redraw congressional lines in the state. The proposition aimed to push several Republican incumbents, including Kiley, out of office.<\/p>\n<p>Kiley, unlike many Republican lawmakers, opposed any partisan redistricting efforts, including those in Texas. The California effort was in response to the Texas redistricting, which favored Republicans.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4415212\/assault-charges-uhaul-driver-iran-protest-los-angeles\/\">POLICE MULL ASSAULT CHARGES FOR U-HAUL DRIVER WHO PLOWED INTO IRAN PROTESTERS IN LOS ANGELES<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many California Republican incumbents are still weighing whether to run for reelection. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) pondered running in Texas before changing his mind. Reps. Ken Calvert (R-CA) and Young Kim (R-CA) will need to spar over the state&rsquo;s 40th Congressional District after the state&rsquo;s redistricting forced Calvert to run in Kim&rsquo;s district.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.

The 5th District, currently held by Rep.
