State Senate, District 9
Why does this race matter?
The winner of this predominantly suburban Contra Costa County seat will replace termed-out state Sen. Steve Glazer. This year, the district is expanding to include additional communities, such as San Leandro and Martinez. Housing affordability, wildfires and long commute times are among the chief concerns of voters in this district.
What does a state senator do?
State senators represent communities at the California Legislature in Sacramento. The 40 members of the state Senate write and vote on state bills, serve on policy committees and vote on the annual state budget. The top two finishers in this primary election, regardless of party, will face off in the November election. The winner will serve a four-year term.
