Battle Ground For district 52
California's 52nd Congressional state is located towards the south, including parts of San Diego County. California, among two other states, uses a blanket primary, also known as a primary election, that takes place before the general election to decide the running candidates for the general election.
This year the two candidates who advanced to the general election are, Incumbent Scott peters (Democrat) and Carl DeMaio (Republican).
The results for the primary election were very close, Scott Peters won 42.3% of the votes while Carl DeMaio was Close Behind with 35.5%. Because Republican candidates split nearly 58% of the vote in the primary blanket, it is likely that Scott Peters will face a very competitive race against Carl DeMaio.
