The race for California’s Assembly District 74 has emerged as a crucial contest in Orange County, where incumbent Republican Laurie Davies is facing a formidable challenge from Democrat Chris Duncan.

The race for California’s Assembly District 75 is a key contest between two Republican candidates, Carl DeMaio and Andrew Hayes, in a district that has long been a GOP stronghold. 

The race for California’s Assembly District 79 is an all-Democratic contest between Colin Parent and LaShae Sharp-Collins, in a district that has become a stronghold for progressive politics. 

The GOP certainly hopes it can capture the open seat in California's Assembly District 76, but Democrats are heavily invested in the outcome of this race, seeking to keep the seat blue.
