PLACER COUNTY, Calif. \u2014 Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley will be running in California’s 6th District. It’ll set him up for a primary election clash with candidates such as Craig DeLuz, Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho, Richard Pan, and more.<\/p>\n

The boundaries of Kiley’s current district were upended by the nation\u2019s partisan redistricting war<\/a>, specifically California’s Prop 50, which split it into six pieces. He pulled papers for both the fifth and sixth districts, and, in a statement posted to X, he said the fifth district showed a favorable outlook in a safe district. However, he said he instead opted for the sixth, in part because it includes counties where he was born and raised.<\/p>\n

“And at the end of the day, as much as I love the communities in the 5th District that I represent now \u2013 and as excited as I was about the new ones \u2013 seeking office in a district that doesn\u2019t include my hometown didn\u2019t feel right.”<\/p>\n

Kiley will be seeking his third term in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

In his statement, he said the new 6th district’s composition is “Democratic-leaning but open-minded.”<\/p>\n

“While this will be a more challenging race, I believe we can build a winning coalition for common sense.”<\/p>\n
