A socialist, a billionaire, a podiatrist: Alex Padilla's Senate challengers in California
What do a socialist, a billionaire and a podiatrist have in common?
They are all running to be a United States Senator for California in 2023.
Twenty-three candidates are on the California secretary of state’s certified list to run for a full, six-year term. Of those, eight are also running to fill the remainder of his current term and thus will appear on the ballot twice.
Sen. Alex Padilla, the Democratic incumbent, is running both to finish this term and serve the next one. He is strongly favored to win both.
