Between GOP Latina and Transgender Democrat for State Senate | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":18481,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Soon after the March primary, state Senate candidate Lisa Middleton pitched her vision for Inland Empire transportation to the Pass Democratic Club in Beaumont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve not built the roadways we need to serve the growing population,” she said, referring to chronic congestion on Interstate 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Middleton, a Palm Springs City Council member and former mayor, won applause describing how she secured $50 million for a storm-damaged bridge in Palm Springs. If elected, she vowed to build bridges for traffic as well as “bridges to people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lastly, I’m a very proud member of the LGBTQ community, and I am transgender,” Middleton, 71, concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Thad Kousser, political science professor, UC San Diego\"]‘There have been so many people who have been groundbreaking in their identity that now they have the freedom just to be public servants.’[/pullquote]“If I’m elected, I’ll be the first transgender person in the state Legislature. That’s not a reason to vote for me. But in California, it is time that we stand up and say anyone can run. Everyone has a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Middleton does have a chance, although she has her work cut out for her. She earned 46.2% of the vote in the newly constituted \u003ca href=\"https://pp.electionresults.sos.ca.gov/returns/state-senate/district/19\">state Senate District 19\u003c/a>, against incumbent \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/legislators/rosilicie-ochoa-bogh-165450\">Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh\u003c/a>’s 53.8%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Middleton, Ochoa Bogh also knows something about breaking new ground in the Inland Empire. Since 2020, she has been the first Republican Latina lawmaker elected to the state Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their personal stories appear primed for a culture wars clash, but neither candidate is choosing that route. Instead they are campaigning on bread-and-butter issues, such as jobs, infrastructure and public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t do theater; I don’t do drama,” Ochoa Bogh, 51, told CalMatters. “I will support policies that I think are good for people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more than a dozen LGBTQ representatives in the state Legislature, sexual and gender identity may no longer be a key factor in California races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That fits with where we are in California politics,” said Thad Kousser, a UC San Diego political science professor. “There have been so many people who have been groundbreaking in their identity that now they have the freedom just to be public servants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Smart politics or culture clash?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If these candidates’ campaign strategies seem quaint in an era of partisan polarization, that may be smart politics for the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This district combines the liberal neighborhoods of Coachella Valley with conservative bedroom communities and industrial areas in San Bernardino County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the first time Inland Empire voters will cast ballots in this state Senate district, which was redrawn after the 2020 census. In a quirk of that process, it was designated a “deferred district,” with no elected senator since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ochoa Bogh currently represents state Senate District 23, which partially overlaps with District 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voter registration in the new district has shifted from predominantly Republican in 2008 to a 1.5-point Democratic advantage, making for a competitive race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Bernardino County, Ochoa Bogh prevailed with about 63% of the vote, but in Riverside County Middleton led with 53%, according to \u003ca href=\"https://californiatargetbook.com/\">California Target Book\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not that every part of this district is purple; there’s blue and red mixed together,” Kousser said. “That makes political messaging really tricky. How do you come up with messages that work for commuter suburbs as well as Palm Springs?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a sense, Ochoa and Middleton’s messages aren’t that different.
