U.S. House · California's 38th District

Research notes & limits

Neither candidate has completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey. No current campaign-issues page or public statements were found for Solis beyond her official biography, so no priorities/positions are cited for her. Her state legislative record (record items above, from official California Legislature roll calls) does not map squarely onto any of the guide's 15 fixed issue statements, so no vote-based positions were added; her extensive prior record as a member of Congress (2001–2009) and Secretary of Labor is not detailed here since it predates the 'record is what an officeholder did in office' scope available from the sources checked. A separately reported 1995-96 minimum-wage bill she championed (vetoed by Gov. Wilson, later enacted by voters as Proposition 210) could not be confirmed to an exact bill number and official roll call within the research budget, so it is not included. Pedro Casas: campaign priorities page (casasforcongress.com/priorities) is the basis for his entries. Biography gaps: Solis's education and early-career details come from Ballotpedia, Wikipedia, and her 2022 campaign page; no current campaign-site biography was loaded. Casas's biography is entirely self-reported on his campaign site, which also contains some outdated references to another district number.
