Endorsed successor Luz Rivas to run for California's 29th Congressional District seat

Democratic Rep. Tony Cárdenas of California has announced he will not run for reelection in 2024, ending nearly three decades in public service.
Cárdenas, the first Latino to represent California's 29th Congressional District in the San Fernando Valley, has been in office since 2013.
His district, labeled as a “solid Democrat” district with a rating of D+26, is expected to remain under Democratic control.
California State Assembly member Luz Rivas has confirmed she will run to replace Cárdenas, who has endorsed her.
Cárdenas's work has focused on areas such as lowering prescription drug prices, protecting American consumers, combatting climate change, immigration reform, and juvenile justice.
