POLITICO is reporting that Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA) has decided to retire, which pretty much hands his seat to Democrats (his district voted for Obama at a higher rate than any other district held by a Republican congressman in 2012). The question now is--who? Although former Rep. Joe Baca is also in the race, Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar and lawyer Eloise Gomez Reyes that are leading the money game and receiving the most media attention.
This race highlights some tensions between POGs and POs, as the DCCC has endorsed Aguilar, but many other Democratic (and nonpartisan progressive) outside groups, such as EMILY's List, have endorsed Eloise. It's possible both will make it to November, but I don't think the CA filing deadline hasn't passed.
