California will hold special elections for three State Senate seats on March 17. Filing has now closed. Very few candidates filed. In two of the three races, only members of one party are running.
In the 37th district in Orange County, the only candidates are three Republicans: John Moorlach, Naz Namazi, and Donald Wagner.
In the 21st district in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties, only one candidate filed, Republican Sharon Runner.
In the 7th district in Contra Costa County, four Democrats and one Republican filed. The four Democrats are Susan Bonilla, Joan Buchanan, Steve Glazer, and Terry Kremin. The Republican is Michaela Hertle.

Is it legal for Joan Buchanan to claim that she is a “state legislator”?
If Runner is elected, it will be the 2nd time that she was elected to this seat in a special election.
All three special elections were triggered by senators being elected to Congress in the middle of their 4-year senate term. If California had a resign to run law, the special elections could have been avoided, as they would have been filled in the 2014 general election. Alternatively, California should switch to 2 year senate terms (or a unicameral legislature).
Both the American Independent Party of California and the Orange
County Central Committee of the American Independent Party has
endorsed John Moorlach for California State Senate District # 37.
The AIP is the only qualifed political party that gave an endorsement and that endorsement will appear on the Sample
Ballot handbook issued by the Orange County Registrar of Voters
on February 5, 2015.
