A Republican candidate for governor in California will instead run for Congress as a Democrat despite floating Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi concentration camp, as an "unemployment plan."
By David Edwards January 13, 2026
A Republican candidate for governor in California will instead run for Congress as a Democrat despite floating Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi concentration camp, as an "unemployment plan."
In paperwork filed on Monday, Kyle Langford indicated that he would be vying for Democratic Rep. Julia Brownley's seat in the primary for California's 26th Congressional District. Brownley announced she would not run for another term.
Langford's move comes several months after California voters approved a redistricting plan that was expected to have little impact on the 26th.

Article from the National Catholic Reporter:
In posts and interviews, Langford has described his vision of making California an official Catholic state. He identifies as a Catholic integralist who believes that church and state should be integrated.
As governor, Langford said he would advocate for people to attend Mass and enroll in classes to learn about Catholicism. He sees no conflict between his Catholic faith and far-right political beliefs.
