I know someone, somewhere cares about this: ABC News is reporting that Democrat Kevin Mullin is projected to win California’s 15th District. But there was never any doubt a Democrat would win here: Mullin was facing fellow Democrat David Canepa after no Republican advanced from the top-two primary. Mullin will succeed longtime Rep. Jackie Speier, who is retiring after her seventh term comes to an end. This doesn’t have any implications for party control of the House, but it is a victory for much of the California political establishment, which backed Mullin.
