Democratic Candidates Push to Flip House Seats From Republicans In California

MODESTO, CA - OCTOBER 24: Water flows in an irrigation ditch next to a farm in California's 10th congressional district on October 24, 2018 in Modesto, California. Agriculture is the main economic driver in the region and water policy is an important election issue. Democratic congressional candidate Josh Harder is running for the seat held by incumbent U.S. Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA). Democrats are targeting seven congressional seats in California, currently held by Republicans, where Hillary Clinton received more votes in the 2016 presidential election. These districts have become the centerpiece of their strategy to flip the House and represent nearly one-third of the 23 seats needed for the Democrats to take control of the chamber in the November 6 midterm elections.
