Outgoing Rep. T.J. Cox has declared an intention to run again for California s 21st Congressional District seat, though it was unclear Friday how committed he remains because his candidacy paperwork was filed weeks before he ultimately conceded losing the Nov. 3 General Election.
The Selma Democrat indicated in a Nov. 13 filing with the Federal Election Commission he would run for the seat he ended up losing by a slim margin to Hanford Republican David Valadao, who held the seat for three terms before narrowly losing to Cox in 2018. Cox conceded defeat Dec. 4.
A spokesman for Cox could not be reached for comment.
