Robert Garcia, a Democrat from Long Beach whose district stands to gain more Republican voters than any other House member under the new congressional maps, pledged to represent all constituents in what will be California's new 42nd Congressional District if he's reelected. "Regardless of political parties " I'll represent everyone. And there's great people and neighborhoods all across the new district," Garcia wrote in a Nov. 5 social media post. The hoopla surrounding the 42nd Congressional District isn't just that Garcia will be running in an area that will look vastly different from what it does today. It's that the openly gay, progressive liberal who, up to this point, has represented a heavily Democratic district in deep-blue Los Angeles County, would be the lawmaker for some of Orange County's most conservative coastal communities, including Huntington Beach…...

I'm a real evangelist for Daniel Woodrell. His best-known book, "Winter's Bone," is a huge favorite of mine, but really his entire catalog is amazing."
