Aguilar sails to victory in California House reelection
House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (Calif.) is projected to sail to victory in his reelection bid, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Aguilar, the third highest ranking Democrat in the House, easily won a sixth term representing a San Bernardino-based district just north of Riverside, Calif. He faced off against Republican Tom Herman, a church administrator and real estate investor.
Aguilar, the highest-ranking House Democrat in California, has held prominent committee posts, including being a member of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Aguilar’s district went for President Biden by more than 25 points in 2020, making the California Democrat the heavy favorite to win the seat again.
