Young Progressive Candidates Look for Change of Guard in CA Congressional Races

from KQED's The California Report · host KQED

We're just a week away from the June 2 primary and in California, several younger, more progressive-leaning candidates are looking to replace longtime incumbents. Two congressional races are highlighting this potential "generational change"- the District 7 race pitting Doris Matsui against challenger Mai Vang and the 32nd Congressional District with incumbent Brad Sherman facing off against Jake Levine. Guest: Maya Miller, CalMatters Evacuation orders have been lifted for more than 30,000 Orange County residents who were ordered to leave their home, over concerns a damaged chemical tank in Garden Grove might explode. Many who were forced to evacuate are questioning how safe their neighborhoods are, in the wake of the scare. Reporter: Chelsea Kurnick Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
