Former State Sen. Jackie Speier (D) is running to replace Rep. Tom Lantos (D) in the solidly Democratic 12th district.

Club for Growth Looks to Oust Frosh McNerney

The Club for Growth has endorsed former state Assemblyman Dean Andal, who is running unopposed in the 11th district GOP primary and is on track to challenge freshman Rep. Jerry McNerney (D) in November.

McNerney upset then-House Resources Chairman Richard Pombo (R) in the previous cycle in the Republican-leaning 11th district, and the Democrat is a top GOP target this time around.
