The district voted heavily Democratic, but Costa didn’t get a majority, despite being a longtime incumbent (other Democrats got over 20% collectively). What caused this?

Can we get an "ERM64man's Random CA Thoughts & Questions" megathread going somewhere?

I'd love to discuss California politics on here, but geez.

Is Costa not very popular? Kimberly Williams also got over 5%.

He's a conservative Blue Dog Democrat who doesn't take his races seriously. In 2014, he won by just a few hundred votes to a farmer with no money.

Does Costa live in CA-16 or CA-21?
