Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) is relentlessly attacking his opponent, Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar in bigoted, xenophobic and false smears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a speech to a GOP women’s group at the end of September, Hunter called Muslims “disgusting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that same speech, as well as in a subsequent television ad, Hunter falsely said Campa-Najjar changed his name three months ago to hide an affiliation with the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Hunter also falsely claimed that Campa-Najjar is a Muslim trying to “infiltrate” Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Radical Muslims are trying to infiltrate the U.S. government,” Hunter said, in audio obtained by the Times of San Diego. “You have more Islamists run for office at the federal level than ever before in U.S. history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter’s campaign then released a television ad — widely criticized by national security experts — with the same false, bigoted claims. Then, this past weekend, Hunter’s campaign sent out a letter claiming that Campa-Najjar could not be trusted with national security information because he is “a member of the Najjar family, which have been heavily involved in terrorist operations and massacres.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CalReportTweets/status/1051860551293235200\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter was signed by three former Marine generals who are GOP lobbyists and have long been associated with Duncan Hunter and his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If … Najjar should get elected and see secret information on U.S. military operations that would endanger members of the Najjar family in the Middle East, would he compromise U.S. operations to protect his relatives, the Najjars?” the letter goes on to ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who is Ammar Campa-Najjar?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Born in East County San Diego, Ammar Campa-Najjar is the son of a Middle Eastern father and Latina mother. At age six, his father left the family, leaving Campa-Najjar to be raised by his mother. She raised him in an Eastlake Christian church. He said part of his involvement was a result of “looking for a father figure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When your dad’s gone, you’re left looking for other people to fill that hole,” Campa-Najjar said in an interview with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11699148\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11699148\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-800x488.jpg\" alt=\"Ammar Campa-Najjar speaks at a recent campaign event.\" width=\"800\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-800x488.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-160x98.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-1020x622.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-1200x732.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-1180x720.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-960x586.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-240x146.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-375x229.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/AmmarCampaNajjar-520x317.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ammar Campa-Najjar speaks at a recent campaign event. \u003ccite>(Ariana Drehsler/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Campa-Najjar was a self-described “knucklehead” in high school, and got into minor trouble with teachers for being flippant and defiant. He described being adrift as a young man, until reading “Dreams From My Father,” which Barack Obama wrote years before he was president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had a huge influence on me, huge,” Campa-Najjar said. “I’m a skinny kid with a funny name. My dad wasn’t around.

Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) is relentlessly attacking his opponent, Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar in bigoted, xenophobic and false smears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a speech to a GOP women’s group at the end of September, Hunter called Muslims “disgusting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that same speech, as well as in a subsequent television ad, Hunter falsely said Campa-Najjar changed his name three months ago to hide an affiliation with the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Hunter also falsely claimed that Campa-Najjar is a Muslim trying to “infiltrate” Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Radical Muslims are trying to infiltrate the U.S. government,” Hunter said, in audio obtained by the Times of San Diego. “You have more Islamists run for office at the federal level than ever before in U.S. history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunter’s campaign then released a television ad — widely criticized by national security experts — with the same false, bigoted claims. Then, this past weekend, Hunter’s campaign sent out a letter claiming that Campa-Najjar could not be trusted with national security information because he is “a member of the Najjar family, which have been heavily involved in terrorist operations and massacres.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a slice of the demographic pie that has tripled since 1980.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in historically red Orange County — where there are four races that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/house-race-ratings\">Cook Political Report labels\u003c/a> as competitive — Democrats are hoping that \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/10/10/asian-american-vote-orange-county\">Asian-American voters\u003c/a> could help turn the county blue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Asian-Americans now make up \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/orangecountycalifornia\">more than 20 percent\u003c/a> of Orange County residents. Mary Anne Foo, executive director of the Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance, says that many of these families have roots in the Philippines, China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan and more. This has been the case for decades, but the difference now is a greater number of those people were born in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see more and more diversity here in Orange County,” she says, “and you’ll see more of a rise of second-generation [voters].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asian-Americans \u003ca href=\"http://www.people-press.org/2018/03/20/1-trends-in-party-affiliation-among-demographic-groups/\">tend to vote\u003c/a> Democratic, according to data from the Pew Research Center, with 65 percent identifying as Democrats or leaning Democratic and just 27 percent who identify as or sway Republican. When Pew first started tracking the Asian-American vote in 1998, 53 percent identified as Democrats compared with 33 percent Republican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Asian-Americans generally voted Democratic, those in Orange County are becoming even more progressive and politically active than their parents and grandparents, says Alex Kim, a Korean-American Republican who is currently the principal and CEO of Three Kings Public Affairs. He previously worked as a political consultant for Democrat James Hahn, the former mayor of Los Angeles, and former California Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Korean-Americans in Orange County at least, the first generation leans more conservatively for the same reasons that Cuban-Americans and Vietnamese-Americans do, Kim says.

An unprecedented number of women are running for office nationwide, and the trend is holding true for California, where polls suggest that Democrats may pick up some congressional seats. Meanwhile, Republicans are looking to galvanize voters by raising anti-tax sentiment and campaigning for Proposition 6, which would repeal the gasoline tax hike and increased vehicle license fees adopted last year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Politico senior writer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katie Orr, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tim Miller, Republican political consultant\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Climate Change Goals\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a new United Nations report sounded the alarm over worldwide climate again, warning that the most severe effects of climate change — increased flooding, drought, wildfires and heat waves — could start being felt as early as 2040. To avoid these crises, global carbon emissions would need to be slashed by 45 percent by 2030, according to the report.

So is it time for them to spend some of their profits locally to address homelessness? The proponents of Proposition C think so. The San Francisco ballot measure would tax big businesses to fund homeless services and build housing. This week, Proposition C got about $2 million from Salesforce and its CEO Marc Benioff.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Molly Turner, UC Berkeley Haas School of Business lecturer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Meanwhile, Republicans are looking to galvanize voters by raising anti-tax sentiment and campaigning for Proposition 6, which would repeal the gasoline tax hike and increased vehicle license fees adopted last year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Politico senior writer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katie Orr, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tim Miller, Republican political consultant\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Climate Change Goals\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a new United Nations report sounded the alarm over worldwide climate again, warning that the most severe effects of climate change — increased flooding, drought, wildfires and heat waves — could start being felt as early as 2040. To avoid these crises, global carbon emissions would need to be slashed by 45 percent by 2030, according to the report.

So is it time for them to spend some of their profits locally to address homelessness? The proponents of Proposition C think so. The San Francisco ballot measure would tax big businesses to fund homeless services and build housing. This week, Proposition C got about $2 million from Salesforce and its CEO Marc Benioff.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Molly Turner, UC Berkeley Haas School of Business lecturer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s up from August, when just 1 percent of ads for federal office in California mentioned tax reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the blurred partisan lines on tax reform have complicated the Orange County-as-anti-tax-bastion stereotype, then so too has the proliferation of local taxes on ballots across the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five cities (Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, Placentia, Santa Ana and Seal Beach) are proposing sales tax increases on the November ballot, largely to address rising pension costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This follows the approval of sales tax hikes in Fountain Valley, La Palma, Stanton and Westminster in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, fiscal plights did little to persuade voters to hike taxes. When Orange County went bankrupt in the mid-1990s, residents voted down a sales tax that would have helped pay off debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, local jurisdictions are hoping that the momentum of a blue wave will prove a rising tide for municipal finances, says Fred Smoller, political science professor at Chapman University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that they’re counting on a larger Democratic turnout, particularly in the Latino community, that’s going to carry those tax increases forward,” Smoller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoller adds that Orange County’s changing demographics are slowly shifting views on the issue of taxation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Originally when the boat people came over here following the Vietnam War, their main issue was anti-communism and anti-big government,” he said. “But the second generation has more or less forgotten the Vietnam War. And they’re trying to have health care, they need help paying for college, they realize they can’t do it all themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether support for local taxes will eventually grow into a greater acceptance for tax measures of all kinds remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a difference between how taxpayers look at Sacramento and how taxpayers look at their mayor and their city councilmember sitting down the street,” Carolyn Cavecche said. “I run into my mayor at the grocery store, I see my councilmember at Home Depot on the weekends.

That’s up from August, when just 1 percent of ads for federal office in California mentioned tax reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the blurred partisan lines on tax reform have complicated the Orange County-as-anti-tax-bastion stereotype, then so too has the proliferation of local taxes on ballots across the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five cities (Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, Placentia, Santa Ana and Seal Beach) are proposing sales tax increases on the November ballot, largely to address rising pension costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This follows the approval of sales tax hikes in Fountain Valley, La Palma, Stanton and Westminster in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, fiscal plights did little to persuade voters to hike taxes. When Orange County went bankrupt in the mid-1990s, residents voted down a sales tax that would have helped pay off debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, local jurisdictions are hoping that the momentum of a blue wave will prove a rising tide for municipal finances, says Fred Smoller, political science professor at Chapman University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that they’re counting on a larger Democratic turnout, particularly in the Latino community, that’s going to carry those tax increases forward,” Smoller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoller adds that Orange County’s changing demographics are slowly shifting views on the issue of taxation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Originally when the boat people came over here following the Vietnam War, their main issue was anti-communism and anti-big government,” he said. “But the second generation has more or less forgotten the Vietnam War. And they’re trying to have health care, they need help paying for college, they realize they can’t do it all themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether support for local taxes will eventually grow into a greater acceptance for tax measures of all kinds remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a difference between how taxpayers look at Sacramento and how taxpayers look at their mayor and their city councilmember sitting down the street,” Carolyn Cavecche said. “I run into my mayor at the grocery store, I see my councilmember at Home Depot on the weekends. So there’s still a feeling of accountability and I’m going to see this money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cavecche is skeptical that any tax issue — local, state or federal — will decide the competitive House races that have put an outsized spotlight on Orange County this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I wonder if the federal tax cut and this gas tax, if it’s all just going to be kind of lost in this massive loud noise of people in the polls,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If she wins, it would make Kim the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress. A Cisneros victory would help Democrats reclaim the House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent weekday morning in the town of Brea, Kim made her pitch for why she should replace Royce when he leaves office. Kim worked as a staffer to Royce and is making her familiarity with the district a key talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So good to see everyone,” Kim told a crowd of about 40 people gathered on the patio of a Panera Bread store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are my friends, you are my neighbors. You made the community a better place to live,” Kim says. She touches on safe issues like the economy and education, then ends her remarks with an echo of Trump. “Let’s go and make our communities and California and America great.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, Kim denied she was referencing Trump, insisting, “I’ve always said that.” And while she promises to follow in Royce’s footsteps, Kim insists she’s not a partisan Republican. To make her point she says we need more compassion for immigrants here illegally, especially recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the so-called Dreamers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are now grown-ups,” Kim, herself an immigrant from South Korea, tells me. “They are not breaking any laws, they’re paying taxes, they’re helping our economy. We need them to stay here with some sort of legal status, and I’ll be very supportive of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This district is mostly in Orange County, and it’s very diverse — roughly split among Latinos, Asians and Caucasians and with equal numbers of Democrats, Republicans and independent voters. It makes for interesting political crosscurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Carlos Muñiz, vice president of the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce here, says he supports Kim, but he doesn’t like the Trump administration’s stepped-up enforcement against immigrants here illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] comes out and there are a lot of raids, that impacts business,” Muñiz said. “Because now you’ve got 15 to 20 employees that you lost. Now you’ve got to replace those employees, and that takes three to four months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment was expressed by several Kim supporters, including some Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim’s opponent, Democrat and Latino Gil Cisneros, might just have the luck it will take to win this seat. In 2008, he won a record-breaking $266 million in the California Lottery. The Navy veteran and his wife started a foundation to help Latino students, and now he’s got his sights on Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a backyard campaign event in the town of Walnut recently, Cisneros noted that one big difference between him and his opponent is campaign funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My opponent has taken thousands of dollars from PAC money,” Cisneros said. “She’s taking money from Big Oil. She’s taking money from the NRA. That’s who she’s going to serve in Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros is refusing all PAC money, including from labor unions. Of course a cynic might say he doesn’t need the cash since he struck it rich in the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Democrats running this year, Cisneros is emphasizing his support for the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to health care, my mother went 16 years without health care,” he said. “My dad, when he first developed diabetes, he went down to Tijuana to buy his diabetes medication. That shouldn’t happen in this country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Kim, who was elected to the state Assembly from here, Cisneros is a novice candidate and it shows. At the recent meet-and-greet event in Walnut, he seemed a bit socially awkward and struggled to connect with voters. Still, they seemed open to his message and candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://www.cookpolitical.com/index.php/ratings/house-race-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cook Report\u003c/a> lists this race as one of five Republican-held seats in California that are now considered “toss-ups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_ca_091818/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monmouth University poll\u003c/a> showed Kim with a slight lead over Cisneros among “potential voters” — but a majority of voters don’t really know either one of them. But Fullerton College political science professor Jodi Balma is skeptical that a blue wave is about to wash over the O.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still lots and lots of parts of Orange County that are rock-ribbed Republicans who are not gonna shift on that,” Balma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, for the Democrat to win here it will take a little luck — although not quite as much as winning the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You made the community a better place to live,” Kim says. She touches on safe issues like the economy and education, then ends her remarks with an echo of Trump. “Let’s go and make our communities and California and America great.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterward, Kim denied she was referencing Trump, insisting, “I’ve always said that.” And while she promises to follow in Royce’s footsteps, Kim insists she’s not a partisan Republican. To make her point she says we need more compassion for immigrants here illegally, especially recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the so-called Dreamers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are now grown-ups,” Kim, herself an immigrant from South Korea, tells me. “They are not breaking any laws, they’re paying taxes, they’re helping our economy. We need them to stay here with some sort of legal status, and I’ll be very supportive of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This district is mostly in Orange County, and it’s very diverse — roughly split among Latinos, Asians and Caucasians and with equal numbers of Democrats, Republicans and independent voters. It makes for interesting political crosscurrents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Carlos Muñiz, vice president of the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce here, says he supports Kim, but he doesn’t like the Trump administration’s stepped-up enforcement against immigrants here illegally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] comes out and there are a lot of raids, that impacts business,” Muñiz said. “Because now you’ve got 15 to 20 employees that you lost. Now you’ve got to replace those employees, and that takes three to four months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment was expressed by several Kim supporters, including some Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim’s opponent, Democrat and Latino Gil Cisneros, might just have the luck it will take to win this seat. In 2008, he won a record-breaking $266 million in the California Lottery. The Navy veteran and his wife started a foundation to help Latino students, and now he’s got his sights on Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a backyard campaign event in the town of Walnut recently, Cisneros noted that one big difference between him and his opponent is campaign funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My opponent has taken thousands of dollars from PAC money,” Cisneros said. “She’s taking money from Big Oil. She’s taking money from the NRA. That’s who she’s going to serve in Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cisneros is refusing all PAC money, including from labor unions. Of course a cynic might say he doesn’t need the cash since he struck it rich in the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Democrats running this year, Cisneros is emphasizing his support for the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to health care, my mother went 16 years without health care,” he said. “My dad, when he first developed diabetes, he went down to Tijuana to buy his diabetes medication. That shouldn’t happen in this country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Kim, who was elected to the state Assembly from here, Cisneros is a novice candidate and it shows. At the recent meet-and-greet event in Walnut, he seemed a bit socially awkward and struggled to connect with voters. Still, they seemed open to his message and candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://www.cookpolitical.com/index.php/ratings/house-race-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cook Report\u003c/a> lists this race as one of five Republican-held seats in California that are now considered “toss-ups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_ca_091818/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monmouth University poll\u003c/a> showed Kim with a slight lead over Cisneros among “potential voters” — but a majority of voters don’t really know either one of them. But Fullerton College political science professor Jodi Balma is skeptical that a blue wave is about to wash over the O.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still lots and lots of parts of Orange County that are rock-ribbed Republicans who are not gonna shift on that,” Balma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, for the Democrat to win here it will take a little luck — although not quite as much as winning the lottery.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
