Bakersfield Assemblyman Vince Fong addresses supporters March 9, 2024, in Bakersfield, Calif. In a decision that could leave voters doing a double take, a California appeals court ruled that a state legislator can appear as a candidate in two races on the November ballot. The unusual dual candidacies stem from the fight over the now-vacant seat of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the state's Central Valley. The ruling marked a victory for state Assembly member Fong, a Republican who is McCarthy's preferred successor in the 20th Congressional District.
