In California's key House races that will help determine control of Congress, Democratic candidates support Prop. 36 to make tougher sentences for drug and theft crimes.
Democrats running in California's six fiercely competitive congressional districts, seats that may determine the balance of power in Washington, are aligning themselves with their Republican rivals in support of a tough-on-crime ballot measure that voters will decide in the November election. That unity indicates the political vulnerability Democratic candidates may face over the issue of crime, particularly in tight races.
Gray told The Times he thinks the measure will “restore accountability for repeat offenders” and provide law enforcement the tools to enforce that. In another battleground race in the Inland Empire's 41st Congressional District, Democratic hopeful Will Rollins is running for a second time against Rep. Ken Calvert, the longest-serving Republican in California's congressional delegation.
