Meet the candidates for California’s 50th Congressional District

Scott Peters is being challenged by coffee shop owner David Chiddick and business owner/educator Corey Gustafson, both Republicans; scientist Adam Schindler, a no-party preference candidate; and tech nonprofit executive Kylie Taitano, a Democrat. The top two vote-getters will advance to a Nov. 8 runoff.
