"We've got to stop meeting like this," said NO ONE in the race for California Congressional District 2. Incumbent Democrat Jared Huffman and Republican Dale Mensing appear headed to a November pairing for the second straight election.
Huffman pulled in nearly 70 percent of the vote in early returns, while Mensing polled under 20 percent in a race that featured one other Democrat and an independent. In the top-two primary system, that's enough to send Huffman and Mensing on to a November matchup.
Huffman first won election to Congress in 2012. Mensing works as a grocery cashier in Garberville.
The Second Congressional District runs from rural and coastal to urban and inland; it touches the Oregon border in Del Norte County and stops at the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin.
