California Secretary of State Shirley Weber announced on Friday that Assemblyman Vince Fong cannot run for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) House seat next year because he has already filed to run for state Assembly.
Weber confirmed that under California state law, a candidate cannot appear on one ballot for two separate offices.
"Under state law, a candidate who has filed their declaration of candidacy is not permitted to withdraw as a candidate at that primary election," the secretary said in a statement. "Mr. Fong filed his completed nomination documents for Assembly District 32 prior to the close of the December 8, 2023 filing deadline. Mr. Fong then submitted completed nomination documents for Congressional District 20 during the 5-day extension period triggered by the incumbent’s decision not to seek re-election. State law prohibits any candidate from filing nomination papers for more than one office at the same election."

Good riddance to this "young gun" and his idiot 'protege'!
This is the Malibu district. Why can’t Adam Carolla run?
McCarthy’s district is nowhere near Mailbu.
not Malibu
its Bakersfield lol
If Demonrat snake Kevin endorsed .
Dodged another Hamas Demonrat fraud .
Agreed. If McCarthy supported the guy, good riddance.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS !!!
McCarthy’s organizational skills have always been a little suspect.
Malibu and Bakersfield are rarely mistaken, one for the other
Why does it take so many months, in every state, to get proper ballots printed, which precipitates deadlines which could otherwise be closer to an election date???
