In California redistricting, pro-MAGA town likely to get a gay, liberal congressman

A redrawn district pairs conservative Huntington Beach with liberal Long Beach, making gay, progressive Robert Garcia — a Peruvian-born former Long Beach mayor — the heavy favorite to become the area's congressman.
Huntington Beach's local politics (a MAGA-majority city council and a ban on the Pride flag) sharply contrast with the likely new representative, setting up cultural tension.
Garcia says he expects cooperation despite differences and plans to focus on shared local issues, notably offshore oil drilling.
