NRCC Chair Hudson Slams Newsom’s Move to Deny CA-01 Voice in Congress

NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) issued the following statement on Gavin Newsom’s decision to deny the voters of California’s First District a voice in Congress:

“Gavin Newsom’s decision to punt this special election to August is a blatant waste of taxpayer dollars and a disservice to the people of California’s First District. He could have scheduled this election alongside the June primary, but instead chose to leave this seat vacant for months. Californians deserve a voice in Congress, and Newsom is denying them one for purely political reasons.”
