Tough fights for three congressional incumbents
- November 1, 2010
- Louis DeSipio, Chicano/Latino studies department chair and political science associate professor, is interviewed on the California Report October 31, 2010

Synopsis:
There's no bigger prize in this election than control of Congress -- and Republicans
think they're well within striking distance of taking over the House. Most California
Congressional incumbents seem pretty safe, but three seem to have real battles on
their hands. Those three are: Republican Dan Lungren in the Third Congressional District
near Sacramento; and Democrats Jerry McNerney in a district east of Oakland, and Loretta
Sanchez from Orange County. We talk with Ben Adler, Capitol Public Radio reporter;
Lisa Vorderbrueggen, political reporter and columnist with the Contra Costa Times;
and Louis DeSipio, chair of the Chicano/Latino Studies Department at UC Irvine.
