انتخابات مجلس النواب الأمريكي لعام 2012 في كاليفورنيا

أُجريت انتخابات مجلس النواب الأمريكي لعام 2012 في ولاية كاليفورنيا في 6 نوفمبر/تشرين الثاني 2012، بعد الانتخابات التمهيدية التي جرت في 5 يونيو/حزيران 2012. وانتخب الناخبون 53 ممثلاً عن الولاية، ممثلاً واحداً عن كل دائرة من دوائرها الانتخابية البالغ عددها 53 دائرة . وتزامنت هذه الانتخابات مع انتخابات مناصب فيدرالية وولائية أخرى، بما في ذلك الانتخابات الرئاسية التي تُجرى كل أربع سنوات وانتخابات مجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي .

بحسب تقرير كوك السياسي و "رول كول" ، كانت الدوائر الانتخابية الأكثر تنافسية هي السابعة والعاشرة والسادسة والعشرون والسادسة والثلاثون والثانية والخمسون ؛ بالإضافة إلى ذلك، صُنفت الدوائر الثالثة والتاسعة والرابعة والعشرون والحادية والأربعون والسابعة والأربعون على أنها أقل أمانًا. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] كما أدرجت "رول كول" الدائرة الحادية والعشرين ضمن الدوائر التنافسية. انتخب الناخبون في 14 دائرة ممثلين جددًا: الأولى والثانية والسابعة والثامنة والخامسة عشرة والحادية والعشرون والسادسة والعشرون والتاسعة والعشرون والخامسة والثلاثون والسادسة والثلاثون والحادية والأربعون والسابعة والأربعون والحادية والخمسون والثانية والخمسون . وشهدت دائرتان، هما الثلاثون والرابعة والأربعون ، تنافس مرشحان حاليان.

كانت هذه أول انتخابات تُجرى باستخدام الدوائر الانتخابية التي رسمتها لجنة إعادة تقسيم الدوائر الانتخابية في كاليفورنيا . وقد تمت الموافقة على هذه الدوائر، المستندة إلى تعداد الولايات المتحدة لعام 2010 ، في 15 أغسطس/آب 2011. [ 3 ] كما كانت أول انتخابات غير خاصة تُطبق نظام الانتخابات التمهيدية الشاملة غير الحزبية الذي أقره الاقتراح رقم 14. ونتيجة لذلك، شهدت ثماني دوائر انتخابات عامة بمرشحين اثنين من الحزب نفسه: الدوائر 15 و30 و35 و 40 و 43 و44 بمرشحين ديمقراطيين، والدائرتان 8 و 31 بمرشحين جمهوريين.

Campaign

Vargas was endorsed by the California Democratic Party in February 2012.[10] Gionis received the endorsement of the California Republican Party in March 2012.[11]

Vargas was predicted to face fellow Democratic state senatorDenise Moreno Ducheny in the general election, but he spent some of his funds on mailers to help Republican Michael Crimmins, who he preferred to face in the general election in this heavily Democratic seat. Vargas spent $40–50,000 helping Crimmins, at least eight times more than Crimmins spent himself.[246] The effort was successful as Crimmins finished 2,909 votes ahead of Ducheny.
