Episode Details

California’s 14th Congressional District is heating up as State Senator Aisha Wahab and BART Director Melissa Hernandez battle it out in the August special election to fill Eric Swalwell’s seat — and both are also locked in for the November general election. Wahab leads in early counts, but Hernandez is already on the offensive, focusing on voter connection and cost-cutting for families. With the district firmly Democratic and the top three primary finishers all Democrats, the race is a clear two-woman showdown. Winner of August gets a head start in Congress before the November race, where they’ll serve a full term. Wahab, a progressive Senate leader, champions social safety nets and renter protections, while Hernandez, a former mayor, leans into small business and housing development — both promising to “fight the good fight” in their own ways.
