BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — An unexpected announcement regarding the race to represent California’s 20th Congressional District may divide Kern County’s Republican base.
Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux has scheduled an announcement Wednesday morning that may have a significant impact on the highly competitive race for CD-20, formerly held by Bakersfield Congressman Kevin McCarthy.
Boudreaux is expected to announce the endorsements of Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood and of Kern County state Senator Shannon Grove.

That’s according to Bakersfield radio talk show host Ralph Bailey, who reported on his KERN 1180 show Tuesday afternoon.
“Sources tell us both Youngblood and state Senator Grove are both upset with Mr. Fong over his liberal labeling of Mike Boudreaux,” Bailey said on his program Tuesday.
17 News asked Boudreaux for confirmation on the endorsement — he told us to attend his news conference tomorrow and that he could neither confirm nor deny.
