Kevin Kiley Goes Independent In Re-Election Bid

Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) “filed for reelection as an independent Friday, after California’s Democratic gerrymander blew up his existing boundaries, leaving him to run as a longshot in a blue-leaning district,” Politico reports.

“Kiley has tacked to the middle in recent months, since California Democrats targeted his district in a successful gerrymandering campaign championed by Newsom. He’s repeatedly criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson, broken with Republicans in key votes, blasted partisan redistricting efforts and co-authored bipartisan legislation to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies.”
