Democratic Rep. Julia Brownley wins reelection after late concerns that her Southern California congressional race was in danger from GOP.
The veteran lawmaker defeated Matt Jacobs, a former federal prosecutor, who was seen as an affable but longshot candidate in a district that supported Joe Biden by 20 percentage points. The Associated Press called the race Saturday, though official results will take longer.
The incumbent’s reelection had been considered secure, but in the weeks before the election, Democrats — notably the congresswoman —In the 26th Congressional District, which includes a sliver of Los Angeles County, Democrats had a 14.8-percentage-point voter registration edge over Republicans, even afterRepublicans represented the area for 70 years until Brownley won her congressional seat in 2012.
But both are also aligned with their party’s bases. Jacobs said he voted for President Trump in 2016 and 2020, and Brownley made abortion rights — following theJacobs said he approves of the high court’s decision on Roe; he added that he would not back a federal abortion ban. The Republican said he supportsin cases of rape, incest and risks to the health of the pregnant woman, but he would not say whether he supported broader abortion rights.
The district was rated “solid Democrat” by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report until just before the race, when it was deemed more competitive and relabeled “lean Democrat.” The move was prompted by a poll that reportedly showed a statistical dead heat between the candidates and last-minute money flowing into the race from House campaign committees and leadership PACs.
