Democrat Adam Gray has been projected as the winner of California’s 13th Congressional District. According to reports from ABC News, Gray secured over 50% of the votes, narrowly defeating the Republican incumbent John Duarte by a slim margin of just 187 votes.
As of Tuesday night, the results of the race were finalized, confirming Gray’s victory.
In his statement released Tuesday evening, Gray expressed his gratitude and pride in becoming the Congressman-elect.
He emphasized his commitment to providing independent and accountable leadership, ensuring that the needs of the people in the Valley take precedence over party politics. “The final results confirm this district is ready for leadership that serves its people,” Gray said.
The race between Gray and Duarte has been one of the closest in the country, coming down to the last minute for the certification of the election results in California.
This tight race highlights how important each vote has been, especially given the small margin separating the two candidates.
The 13th district of California, which was redrawn after the 2020 census, covers parts of Fresno, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, and Stanislaus counties.
These areas have seen significant changes, with voters looking for a fresh perspective on leadership.
Gray’s victory marks a significant shift in California politics, and his win has captured the attention of both state and national political observers. As he prepares to take office, Gray’s supporters are hopeful that his leadership will bring much-needed change to the region.
