California's Democratic Showdown | Lubbock News

California’s 14th Congressional District heads to the polls today in a high-stakes special election between two Democrats: state senator Aisha Wahab and BART board president Melissa Hernandez. Though Wahab dominated both the June primary and the full-term race by over 20 points, Hernandez has outraised her — but their war chests are now nearly even. Adding fuel to the fire, a pro-Israel super PAC has dumped $1 million to back Hernandez and oppose Wahab. The district’s new boundaries, drawn in 2025, mean today’s winner will serve out the remainder of the term under old lines — then face off again in November for a full term under the redrawn map. With Congress hanging by a thread, this vote isn’t just local — it’s national. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
