The US House: What to Expect. 

In the battle for Congress, Democrats unseated three incumbent Republicans by razor-thin margins in districts around California, including the Central Valley, despite a statewide slight shift to the right. What was the message of voters? What’s the potential impact on the political balance of the House? Why did so many voters choose to stay home?

Guests: David Ayón, Senior Fellow, Center for the Study of Los Angeles, Research Associate and Continuing Lecturer for Institute of Governmental Studies, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA; Dr. Ivy Cargile, Associate Professor of Political Science, California State University at Bakersfield-CSU Bakersfield, Bakersfield, CA; excerpts from recent statements by Dolores Huerta, President, Dolores Huerta Foundation.
