Debate over 2024 candidate filings

Court reverses decision

On December 28, 2023, Judge Shelleyanne Chang of the Sacramento Superior Court ruled Vince Fong could appear on the March 5, 2024, primary ballot as a candidate for both California State Assembly District 32 and California's 20th Congressional District.[10] The ruling was made in response to a lawsuit entered on behalf of Fong, who filed for re-election to the 32nd assembly seat and as a candidate for the congressional seat earlier in the year.

The suit argued California state electoral law Article 1, Section 8003, prohibiting candidates from filing election papers for more than one office during the same election cycle, was outdated.[11]

Chang's decision reversed Secretary of State Shirley Weber's (D) decision—issued on December 15, 2023,—that barred Fong from running in the congressional race based on the California statute.[11] Weber responded stating, "I strongly disagree with the outcome of this case, and I am gravely concerned about the consequences of today’s ruling."[12] She said her office would appeal the decision, but that California has reissued a certified candidate list including Fong's filings for both Congress and the California State Assembly. [11]

On April 9, 2024, Judge Laurie M. Earl of the California Third District Court of Appeal upheld Chang's decision.[13]

Candidate filing ruled invalid

On December 15, 2023, the California's Secretary of State's office announced Fong would not appear on the state's certified candidate list for California's 20th Congressional District election in 2024.[14] The decision rested on state law barring a candidate from filing for more than one office in the same election cycle.[11]

In 2023, Fong filed for re-election to California State Assembly District 32.[15] On December 11, 2023, Fong filed paperwork to run for California's 20th Congressional seat, which was contested in the wake of former U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R) resignation.[14] According to the secretary of state, Fong filed in the congressional race past the deadline for withdrawal from the assembly race.[16] This conflict rendered Fong ineligible to appear as an official congressional candidate under California state law.[11]

Fong said he would file a lawsuit in response to the ruling, and said the decision was an, "unprecedented interference in the candidate filing process."[17] In a written statement, Secretary Weber reinforced her belief in the validity of the ruling.[18]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, State legislative scorecards in California

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
