(The Center Square) – The race for California’s Congressional District 6 is a “priority race” for Democrats. That is according to Dr. Richard Pan, the Democrat who appears headed to the Nov. 3 general election against incumbent Kevin Kiley, I-Rocklin.
The area was known as District 3 until it was redrawn to favor Democrats under Proposition 50.
