California: Mike Honda

Potential California Obama appointments could lead to flurry of special elections

By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com Reporter

WASHINGTON - Before you know it, California could find itself with a handful of open congressional seats.

At least three Golden State Democrat congressmen - Xavier Becerra, Mike Thompson, and Mike Honda - are reportedly in the mix for cabinet positions in the Obama Administration, and any departures would set off a scramble for their seats, those involved in state politics say.

Should any vacancy occur, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger would have 14 days from the time of the opening to set a special election date.

Congressional Democrats oppose Proposition 11

By Ben van der Meer, PolitickerCA.com Senior Reporter

A group of influential California Congressional representatives, including U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have sent Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger a letter describing their opposition to Proposition 11, which would reform how political districts are drawn in the state.

The group, which included U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) and U.S. Rep. Mike Honda (D-San Jose), said the measure ignored political realities in California and would hurt representation of some communities.
