California Assemblymember Vince Fong, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s pick to succeed him in Congress, will be eligible to run for the seat after all, a Superior Court Judge ruled on Thursday. The California Secretary of State’s Office had deemed Fong ineligible to run as he had already filed his candidacy for re-election to his Assemblymember seat. The Thursday ruling clears the way for Fong to face off with far-right challenger David Giglio for the House seat vacated by McCarthy.
