## Resource

California’s House races are heating up with generational showdowns and strategic mapmaking—Democrats like Eric Jones and Mai Vang are challenging veteran incumbents like Mike Thompson and Doris Matsui, while Brad Sherman holds off a younger challenger in LA. Amid nationwide shifts after Biden’s presidency, California’s new district boundaries help Democrats avoid losses and expand their congressional footprint, keeping wine country and beyond firmly blue.
