California Secretary of State's Office has ruled that Assemblyman Vince Fong is not allowed to run as a candidate for the 20th Congressional District because he had previously filed paperwork to run for reelection to the California State Assembly. Fong's campaign team plans to challenge this decision in court, arguing that it is an unprecedented interference in the candidate filing process. State law prohibits candidates from filing nomination papers for more than one office at the same election, and Fong's nomination papers for Congressional District 20 were deemed improperly submitted.
