In California's 38th Congressional District, Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis (D) and psychologist Pedro Casas (R) have advanced to the general election following a competitive primary. Solis topped the four-candidate field with 44.4% of the votes, while Casas followed closely with 40.1%. The primary system in California allows candidates from all parties to compete on a single ballot, leading to the advancement of the top two vote-getters. This election is significant as it stems from a recent redistricting that altered the district's boundaries, which now includes portions of Los Angeles County. The seat opened up after incumbent Rep. Linda Sánchez opted to pursue a different congressional seat rather than seek reelection. Solis, a prominent figure with previous congressional experience and a former Labor Secretary under President Obama, is viewed as the likely favorite in November's election against the only Republican candidate, Casas. With the district rated as solidly Democratic, many observers expect Solis to secure the seat in the upcoming election.
