(The Center Square) – The race for California’s Congressional District 6 is a “priority race” for Democrats. That is according to Dr. Richard Pan, the Democrat who appears headed to the Nov. 3 general election against incumbent Kevin Kiley, I-Rocklin. The area was known as District 3 until it was redrawn to favor Democrats under Proposition 50. Speaking at a press conference Tuesday outside the California Democratic Party office in Sacramento, Pan said that, as a doctor, he has devoted his life to protecting the life and safety of the region's families. Now, Pan said, he is running for Congress to improve lives and make government work for people. “Kevin Kiley chose a different path,” said Pan, who is also an educator, small business owner and former state senator for the Sacramento region. “As a career politician, Kiley first ran for Congress in 2022, taking extreme positions on immigration, voting rights, public health and earned Trump's endorsement as his MAGA champion.” Pan then said U.S. Rep. Kiley, who was a Republican until earlier this year, voted with President Donald Trump 90% of the time, including backing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Kiley is now an independent who caucuses with Republicans. “Now his families here in the 6th District struggle with the increasing cost of food, gas above $6 a gallon, and draconian cuts to their healthcare,” said Pan. “These are the results of Kevin Kiley's unquestioning support of Donald Trump's extremist Project 2025 agenda.” Pan added that “Kevin Kiley is hoping voters forget what he's done to them to pursue his own personal ambitions and Trump's Republican Party,” but Pan is not buying that Kiley is going to be an independent voice. “The Republican leadership continued to help support and finance his campaign, and the chair of the California Republican Party recently called Kevin Kiley a Republican at his core,” said Pan. “He will say whatever he needs to keep himself in office.” With 24 days remaining in the vote count, Kiley is leading the race with 46,942 votes or 24.3% of the vote. Pan has 44,839 or 23.2%. There are five other candidates in the race. Four of them are Democrats who collectively have 32.5% of the vote as of Tuesday. Republican candidate Michael Stansfield has 20.1%. The Center Square’s figures come from the California Secretary of State’s website. On June 10, the District 6 race was added to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Red to Blue program. “CA-06 is one of the top chances to flip a House seat and take back the majority,” said Pan in an X post on June 10. “I’m running to defeat Kevin Kiley and deliver for the families of this district.” Republicans currently have a razor-thin majority in the House, and Democrats could take control by flipping a few seats in the November midterm election. The Center Square asked Kiley for a comment and did not hear back by publication time. In May, Kiley told The Center Square that he too was running to deliver for families in this district. Like other politicians and voters, Kiley wants something done about the affordability crisis. “We lead the nation in highest gas prices, highest electricity prices, with water and housing and groceries, and much of that is because of overreaching state policies, which are not well adapted to what will make things affordable in our state,” Kiley told The Center Square in May. The average in California for a gallon of regular gas was $5.71 on Tuesday. That's according to AAA, which has the national average at $4.04. While California has the highest price in the nation, the rates show a decrease from previous weeks during the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. Trump recently announced the U.S. and Iran would sign a peace deal Friday to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to ships.

(The Center Square) - Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank could be out of a job by the first of the year if voters approve an amendment headed for the November ballot. In a surprise move Monday night, the Pierce County Charter Review Commission amended a proposal to the general election that previously only contained language about making the sheriff an appointed, rather than elected, position. The change offered by Commissioner Justin Leighton, who serves District 7, which includes Gig Harbor, Key Peninsula, and parts of North Tacoma, added language to terminate Swank’s four-year term early, on Jan. 1, 2027. “Let the final say be in November,” Leighton said during the late night meeting. In a Tuesday interview with The Center Square, Leighton elaborated on why he offered the new language to end Swank’s term early. “The voters I believe need a clean up or down decision," he said. "In my mind this is a clean up or down vote on the idea of appointed sheriff or an elected sheriff.” Leighton said the commission has a responsibility every ten years to update the charter. “This is the moment where we change our county's constitution, so to speak," he said. "So, this is the time that moves forward. At the end of the day, we the charter are not deciding anything. We are deciding what is put forward for consideration by the voters and they will decide.” Commissioner Holly Rogge did not support the original or amended version of C-1, the proposal approved by the majority Monday night. “I am deeply disappointed in the commissioners who voted to override the will of the people by inserting an amendment into C-1 that prematurely ends the Sheriff’s term in January 2027," Rogge said in a statement to The Center Square on Tuesday. "This amendment demonstrates this isn’t about the office of the sheriff — it’s a calculated attempt to remove our duly elected Sheriff Swank. And that is wrong,” Rogge wrote. Ahead of the Monday evening vote, Swank testified during public comment in the same provocative tone he has taken in other public meetings, pushing back on attempts to change the office of the sheriff. “I hope you guys want to hear what I say, so the people who file complaints against me can file a couple more,” said Swank. “I'm proud that I have more complaints than any other officer or sheriff in the state.” Swank then launched into a series of highly charged comments, including comments on the use of words including "transgender" and "undocumented immigrant" and saying "protesters" are "terrorists" and "radical leftists" are really "racist, Nazis and fascists" and said climate change is a "man-made hoax." “I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I think I'm being sold down the river,” he concluded. Swank left the meeting after public comment so was not in attendance when the commission began discussing amending the proposal to end his term early. Swank is in the second year of his first four-year term, which he was elected to in November 2024. In a Tuesday interview, Swank told The Center Square he was not expecting the amendment tweak to remove him from office to come first of the year if voters approve the charter change to make sheriff an appointed position. “I was surprised to hear that this was added to the C-1 amendment. I'm not surprised about who put it up there. I've been watching that guy [Leighton] and his disrespect to the commissioners. He's just a hateful person, so he probably hates me with every fiber of his body.” “I think it's unconstitutional," Swank added. "But if it's not, I sure hope it pisses off the people...the voters in Pierce County.” If voters approve the charter amendment in November, Pierce County would be the second county in the state that appoints, rather than elects a sheriff. King County is the other.
