This Tuesday, November 8, the midterm elections will be held in the country, and the general elections in California, and therefore in San Mateo County and the city of Redwood City. So that you have all the necessary information, Pensula 360 Press has created a brief electoral guide with the main proposals and positions that you can decide with your vote.
State Contests:
- Governor. One year shy of a recall effort, Gov. Gavin Newsom is running for a second term against Republican state Sen. Brian Dahle, a representative from northeastern California.
- US Senator from California. Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla and Republican attorney Mark Meuser are running twice on the ballot: once to fill out the remainder of the term Padilla was appointed to in 2020, and once for a new six-year term beginning in January.
- Attorney General. Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta is seeking to remain California's top law enforcement official. He faces Republican Nathan Hochman, a Los Angeles-based attorney and former attorney general.
