GOP incumbent whom Katie Horn PuppyHill defeated is considering run for her seat |
| 2019-10-29 |
| [NYPOST] The former Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, GOP congressman who lost his seat to Katie Hill in a 2018 election says he is "absolutely considering" running for the office again now that she’s resigning amid a sex scandal. Ex-US Rep. Steve Knight told the Signal of Santa Clarita Valley after Hill announced her resignation Sunday that he would make a formal announcement "very quickly" about his plans for California’s 25th Congressional District. Hill had defeated the two-term Republican by 9 percentage points last year, flipping the district blue for the first time since 1990. "It’s a very interesting situation, and we need representation here," Knight said. "It looks like there’s going to be that special election, and we need to have a representative there so we can have our voice in Congress." When asked whether he was weighing a run, Knight replied, "Yes, I’m absolutely considering that. Let’s say I’m more than considering that." Hill was touted as one of the faces of a millennial wave in Washington, DC, before she came under fire last week for allegedly having an affair with an underling, male legislative aide Graham Kelly, as well as engaging in a "throuple" with her now-estranged husband, Kenny Heslep, and a younger female campaign staffer. Hill has denied having a romantic relationship with Kelly but admits to the three-way with Heslep and the campaign worker.

| #3 California's 25th Congressional District is considered a toss-up. After Horn Puppy Hill's sex scandal, it might be even too much for this district of California. There's a lot to like about Steve Knight. There might be opportunity here. |

| #2 Dunno... Hill probably represents the views of her constituents better than the GOPer, but I guess we'll have to wait until we see nude photos of him before we can make up our minds. |
