Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rated California's U.S. Senate race as safely Democratic. California's U.S. Senate seat was open following the retirement of incumbent Barbara Boxer (D). Thirty-four candidates filed to run to replace Boxer, including seven Democrats, 12 Republicans, and 15 third-party candidates. Two Democrats, Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez, defeated the other 32 candidates to advance to the general election. Harris won the general election.[2][3]

Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Sundheim's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Putting the American Worker First: It’s time the American worker came first. As your U.S. Senator, my #1 priority will be to put more money in workers’ pockets and lower the costs of the goods we buy.
  • The Second Amendment: I am a strong supporter of the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment in particular. I do not support any further legislation at the federal level.
  • Water - Creating Real Solutions: It takes resources, and making the right choices for the short – and long term.Initially, to pay for the projects, we’ll put an end to the disastrous idea of the High Speed Rail

– and transfer a portion of those funds to start these essential projects today.

  • Protecting Our Country: The number one priority of the government is to keep America safe. That requires bold, balanced, smart leadership.
  • Making K-12 Education Great Again: When I am in the Senate, my #1 education priority will be to end common core and return control of our local schools.
