Democratic candidates vying for Central Valley swing seats are seeing impressive fundraising hauls.
Rudy Salas raised more than $1.3 million, his campaign said, and ended the quarter with $750,000 in the bank. | Alex Nieves/POLITICOThe party’s picks for two of the fiercest House races in the state — and the country overall — each pulled in more than $1 million in the first quarter of 2024, according to figures shared exclusively with POLITICO. The seven-figure hauls are fueling optimism that Democrats can topple two incumbent Republicans who are precariously perched in blue-tinted districts.
The city happens to be former GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s home turf — and Democrats have been especially hopeful that the absence of McCarthy, who took special interest in protecting targeted Central Valley Republicans, could give them an opportunity. “Republicans have turned the page on their leadership team. They probably have a House speaker now who doesn’t know where the Central Valley is,” Aguilar said, before insisting his party was more focused on the issues than the personalities involved.
In both races, Democrats are gearing up for a rematch, after narrowly losing in 2022 . The candidates are betting that a presidential election year will turn out more of their party’s voters, helping close the gap.
