The winner of the August 12 primary will run unopposed in the November general election in this bright-red district.

The 58th is currently represented by Dan LeMahieu (R-Cascade), who is retiring after serving in the Assembly since 2003 -- for 6 terms..

How safe is this district for Republicans?    LeMahieu won his first election in November 2002 with nearly 80% of the vote.  The second-highest vote-getter ran on the Libertarian ticket.  In each of his 5 re-elections, LeMahieu ran unopposed.
