California congressional seat will be vacant until 2021

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided not to call a special election to fill the rest of the U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter's term. The Republican resigned after pleading guilty to a corruption charge. The San Diego-area district won’t have a vote in the House of Representatives until January 2021, when Hunter's successor takes office. Three Republicans and one Democrat face off in a March primary, with the top two finishers advancing to a November runoff, regardless of party affiliation.
