The Hill-
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D) is mulling a bid to run for California’s 25th Congressional District in the wake of Rep. Katie Hill’s (R-Calif.) resignation, two sources with knowledge of his thinking told The Hill on Monday.
A Southern California political veteran, the 46-year-old Padilla has focused on protecting minority voting rights as secretary of state. He assumed his position in 2015 after serving in the state Senate.
