California: 4 Republican House seats running UNopposed

[HooptieWagon]

3. My purple district had an unopposed R last election.

I'm in the district of former Congressman Bill Young. When he died a few years ago, there was a special election to finish his term, won by his aide David Jolly. There was a third way Dem in the race, former Fla Treasurer Alex Sink.
In the next Congressional election, the Fl Dem Party was waiting to see if Sink would run again. In the mean time, a local liberal Black minister filed to run. Sink eventually declined to run shortly before filing deadline. In a panic at short notice, DWS enlisted an Iraq veteran, former Republican with no political background to run. DWS and her henchman threatened the Black minister and his family to get him to withdraw, which he had to. No one knew who this ex-republican was, local paper did some background checking on the guy and discovered he'd lied about his education background. He withdrew after the filing deadline, so Jolly was able to run unopposed...in a purple district.

My district has now been redrawn by the courts, and is blue. Jolly is not running for reelection, he's running for Rubio's Senate seat. Dems Running for my district are ex-Republican Charlie Crist, and a guy named Eric Lyon (or Lynn?) that I don't know much about at the moment. IDK who's running on the Republican ticket.
