Rep. Kevin Kiley weighs re-election options after redistricting split his district, considering a primary challenge or running in a Democratic-leaning area.

Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley of California is deciding whether to run for re-election after redistricting split his district into six parts, leaving him without a clear path to Congress. He is considering challenging fellow Republican Tom McClintock in a primary or running in a Democratic-leaning Sacramento County district where Kamala Harris won by 8 points in 2024. Kiley, known for criticizing both Democratic and Republican leadership, has opposed Trump on tariffs and supported temporary ACA subsidy extensions. His efforts to limit post-census redistricting have stalled. With the March 4 filing deadline approaching, Kiley is consulting constituents, as California Republicans face increased challenges due to a voter-approved map favoring Democrats.
