California congressional races to watch in the June primary

LA Times  

California’s 2022 congressional races are expected to be some of the most expensive and contentious in the nation as the GOP attempts to retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives. In the most competitive districts, the two candidates who will face each other after the June 7 primary are pretty much determined; those races won’t kick off with intensity until the general election in the fall. Those key races could decide the GOP’s margin in the House and the power of the next House speaker, likely Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield. Under the state’s primary rules, the two candidates who receive the most votes in June will advance to the fall election —regardless of party affiliation.
