strength in comparison with the Republican registration should increase
by June 2016 and even more by November 2016, with the presidential
election attracting more voters.
Latinos were 28.7 percent of all registered voters in the district in 2011
and should increase to over 32 percent by November 2016. The eligible
pool of Latino voters was 32.8 percent in 2011 and should be close to
35 percent by November 2016. White
eligible voters should be approximately 39 percent in November
2016.
The only viable Democratic San Gabriel Valley candidate is Sen. Tony
Mendoza, who represents more than
750,000 of the residents of the district. He would not have to give up
his district to run and has demonstrated an ability to raise money. He
was successful in overcoming a wellfinanced campaign against him for
state Senate in the 2014 election.
There will be other Democrats running for this district most likely from
other parts of the district.
There should be several Republican
candidates running from various
parts of the district. It will be tough
for them to win in a district where
