Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rated this race as a race to watch. Incumbent Lois Capps (D) did not seek re-election in 2016. Salud Carbajal (D) defeated Justin Fareed (R) in the general election on November 8, 2016. Carbajal and Fareed defeated Benjamin Lucas (D), William Ostrander (D), Helene Schneider (D), Katcho Achadjian (R), Matt Kokkonen (R), Steve Isakson (Independent), and John Uebersax (Independent) in the top-two primary on June 7, 2016.[2][3][4]

Campaign themes

2016

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

“
  • Peace: Under corrupt leadership that serves the military-industrial complex, Wall Street, and other special interests, the US has become a military empire. Our government lied to us about Iraq (twice), Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, the Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and more. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed, more made refugees, entire nations destroyed. The leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties are complicit in this. It is the patriotic duty of citizens to rein in our mad government. A vote for me is a vote against war.
  • Student Debt: As founder of Californians for Higher Education Reform I've taken a lead in documenting the problem of rapidly increasing college tuition inflation and in identifying common-sense steps to achieve debt-free college education
  • Health Care: With over 25 years' experience in public health and medical research, I have an insider's perspective on what's wrong with healthcare today and how to fix it. The real issue is health: we have to get serious about preventing illness and creating a culture of health.
  • Environment: I have lived close to nature all my life and protecting the environment is a high personal priority. The key is to instill in people a love of nature; that will lead to ecologically wise behavior.
  • Immigration: Immigration is good, but must be approached with common sense.I support amnesty for undocumented immigrants, with clear path to citizenship.
