AD32 - No Recommendation
This district is a safe Republican seat in the 2024 election cycle. The Republican incumbent is running unopposed for State Assembly while also running for the 20th Congressional district seat.
The Race
Primary election: Republican incumbent Assm. Vince Fong (R) is running unopposed in this March 5 primary election. Assm. Fong is also a candidate for the 20th Congressional seat vacated by former Rep. Kevin McCarthy. State law prohibits a candidate from running for two offices in the same election, but a judge recently ruled that this does not apply under the state’s current top-two primary system – a ruling challenged by the California Secretary of State. If Assm. Fong wins both races, a special election would need to be held for the seat he does not choose to serve in.
Candidate fundraising and pledges: Assm. Fong’s campaign has raised $470,000 as of December 2023, and is funded by police, real estate, corporate PAC, and fossil fuel interests.
The District
Counties in district: California’s 32nd Assembly District includes parts of Kern and Tulare Counties.

The Position
State assemblymembers represent and advocate for the needs of their district constituents at the California State Capitol. They are responsible for creating, debating, and voting on legislation that addresses issues within their district.
The California State Assembly has 80 districts. Each represents a population of at least 465,000 Californians. Representatives are elected to the Assembly for a two-year term. Every two years, all 80 seats are subject to election. Members elected before 2012 are restricted to three two-year terms (six years) in the Assembly. Those elected in or after 2012 are allowed to serve 12 years total across both the state Senate or Assembly. This term, Democrats currently hold a three-quarters supermajority of 60 seats in the California State Assembly, while Republicans hold 19 seats and one seat is held by an Independent.
