California's 27th district is classified as a battleground state due to its current Republican representative serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, yet the district voted majoritarily for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in the last U.S. presidential election. Republican incumbent candidate Michael Garcia was the top fundraiser leading up to primary elections in California's highly contested 27th congressional district, raising over four million U.S dollars. John Quartey II was the highest fundraising Democratic candidate, bringing in 1.2 million U.S. dollars. However, Quartey lost the Democratic primary to Christy Smith who raised 1 million dollars. Michael Garcia and Christy Smith will face one another in the midterm general election scheduled for November 8, 2022.
In American politics, a battleground or swing state is any state that could reasonably be won by either Democratic or Republican party by a swing in votes from one party to the other.
