Gloria is not seeking re-election and no Republicans are seeking the seat. Three Democrats sought the seat in the primary. Here are the March 2020 results:

Sarah Davis (D)- 27.7%
Micah Perlin (D)- 16.7%
Chris Ward (D)- 55.6%

We will now see a matchup between Sarah Davis (D) and Chris Ward (D). Davis has a background as a midwife and Ward is a San Diego City Councilmember.

Ward has the advantage of Name ID and resources I predict that Chris Ward will win in November.
