Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez won a decisive victory in the 34th Congressional District Tuesday, besting fellow Democrat Robert Lee Ahn by more than 20 percentage points in preliminary results. "First, you have to go and meet all of the constituents in every part of the district, tell them that you're going to represent them," Gomez said at a get-out-the-vote event Sunday. During a recent debate, Gomez appeared to take pains to mention many of those neighborhoods by name. "If I'm elected, I'm going to represent every single community: Koreatown, MacArthur Park, Pico Union, downtown L.A.," he told the audience. "I'm going to defend our values and I'm never going to back down, not one inch, not now, not ever."
