GOP’s Duarte takes California Central Valley US House seat

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Republican John Duarte defeated Democrat Adam Gray on Friday in a new California U.S. House district in the Central Valley farm belt that produced the closest congressional contest in the state this year. With Duarte’s victory, Republicans will hold 221 seats next year, Democrats 213, with one Colorado race undecided and going to a recount. The 13th District has a prominent Democratic tilt and a large Latino population, similar to other districts in the sprawling farm belt region. His priorities included obtaining adequate water supplies for farmers in the drought-wracked state — a perennial issue in the Central Valley — along with addressing inflation and crime.
