Central Valley Dems in disarray
Central Valley Democrats are in total disarray.
The “Dem on Dem drama” exploded this week with a looming Rudy Salas-Melissa Hurtado “primary clash” in the 22nd district.
POLITICO reported “a contested primary could scramble [Democrats’] plans, particularly if Salas and Hurtado bludgeon one another before one takes on Valadao in the general election.”
It joins the raft of “messy primaries” with “problematic candidates” causing “primary headaches” for Democrats across the country.
Meanwhile in the 13th district, Democrats’ failed candidate from last cycle Adam Gray has yet to launch a campaign or start raising money.
“Democrats dissolving into total disarray and infighting sets up brutal no-holds-barred primary battles. Whichever of their self-serving candidates survives this chaotic, costly race will enter the general election broke and badly damaged.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
