Tuesday

will be voting both for a LaMalfa replacement - AND in a primary involving a different district (and different candidates) - completely apart from and separate of the old LaMalfa stronghold.

a) Old district replacement (sitting approx. 6-7 months, and less if a run-off is necessary ?) until 26 term expires
b) Primary for new district lines, involving new slate (and possibly some of same slate ?) of primary candidates seeking a slot on Nov ballot - and 2027-28 term.

And you thought some of the mopes were a might confused before .... ?
