AP Race Call: Democrat Gil Cisneros wins election to U.S. House in California's 31st Congressional District

This year, Cisneros ran to fill a different seat left vacant by Rep. Grace Napolitano’s retirement. During the Biden administration, he served as the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness. Cisneros was a Republican until 2008, when he switched to the Democratic Party. He and his wife became philanthropists after winning the lottery in 2010. The Associated Press declared Cisneros the winner at 4:51 p.m. EST.© Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
