(5MinNewsBreak.com) – In a nail-biting, razor-thin win, Democrat Adam Gray defeated the incumbent Republican Representative holding California’s 13th congressional.
Gray unseated Republican Rep. John Duarte by less than 200 votes, leaving the GOP with 220 House seats and Democrats with 215.
The 13th district, which has a large Latino population, has fallen victim to the Democrats’ relentless pandering and empty promises.
Duarte’s narrow defeat mirrors his slim 564-vote win in 2022, highlighting the high stakes of this crucial seat. “That’s how it goes,” Duarte said while conceding.
“I’m a citizen legislator, and I didn’t plan on being in Congress forever,” Duarte stated, hinting at a possible return to the political arena.

Gray campaigned on issues like state water management and renewable energy, which usually means more government control and radical environmental policies.
Meanwhile, Duarte championed the real concerns of hardworking Americans: curbing inflation, reducing crime rates and securing vital water supplies for farmers.
The Democrats’ victory in this agriculturally driven district signals a dangerous shift.
For some analysts, it is a clear indication that the left’s agenda is making inroads even in California’s most traditionally conservative areas.
Additionally, the fact that Democrats managed to flip three Republican-held seats in California is a stark warning.
