Senator Josh Newman is running for election to the California State Senate to represent District 29. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 3, 2020. Josh is a former Democratic member of the California State Senate, representing District 29. He was recalled from the position on June 5, 2018. Ling Ling Chang (R) was selected as his replacement after the Republicans targeted him for voting for the California Gas Tax, for which the GOP falsely accused Josh of being the deciding vote.
