US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyRep. Doris Matsui has won California's 7th Congressional District, the Associated Press projected Tuesday. With about 88% of the vote counted, she leads Mai Vang 53.3% to 46.7%.
It was a generational clash between two Democrats. Matsui, 82, has been in Congress since 2005 and put close to $7 million of her own money into the race, something she had not done in earlier reelection campaigns.
Vang, 41, a Sacramento City Council member, ran on fresh leadership and progressive policies while refusing corporate donations.
