Kevin Mullin faces four challengers for District 15 US House of Representatives seat
U.S. Rep. Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, is being challenged for his District 15 U.S. House of Representatives seat by four candidates that run the gamut from progressive Democrats to a Republican.
Mantosh Kumar, a former tech executive, and Anthony Dang, a Marine Corps veteran who worked in defense oversight, are both Democrats running for Congress because they see the traditional Democratic party as ineffectual on kitchen-table issues and beholden to corporate interests.
Jim Garrity, an independent and former police officer, describes himself as a "middle-of-the-road guy" who wants to bridge the partisan divide. And Republican Charles Hoelter, a retired UPS supervisor, says his platform is one of common sense issues that include lowering gas and electric prices and restricting sports by biological gender.
