Jimmy Gomez won a special election in 2017 to replace then-Congressman Xavier Becerra, who was appointed as California’s attorney general. Now he has easily won his first full term representing California’s 34th District in a bid against Green Party candidate Kenneth Mejia.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Gomez drew 74.2 percent of the vote, with Mejia earning 25.8 percent, in semi-official results.

Gomez, 43, is a Democrat in a district that long has been held by the party and only had Democrats and last had a non-Democrat in the general election in 2012. Gomez captured more than 59 percent of the vote in the 2017 special election and nearly 78 percent in June’s primary. He was elected to the state Assembly in 2012 and served there until his election to Congress.

Mejia is a 27-year-old accountant and community organizer who ran in the district in 2016 and 2017. He did not make it out of the 2016 Democratic primary as a write-in candidate and finished seventh in the 2017 primary, representing the Green Party.
