Kiley pivots to no party preference to seek reelection in CA
California Rep. Kevin Kiley filed to run for reelection as 'no party preference' (independent) rather than as a Republican, a move spurred by redistricting that put his district in more Democratic-leaning territory. While it's not yet official whether he will leave the GOP, he emphasizes nonpartisanship. He faces a crowded race in California’s 6th District and is currently the best-funded candidate, with about $2.1 million in fundraising, as he competes with Democrats Richard Pan and Thien Ho.
