Republican Gary Miller is being challenged by a trio of Democrats including Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar and former Congressman Joe Baca.

Right after the election last November, Democrats targeted an Inland Empire Congressional seat won by Republican Gary Miller. He's being called one of the most vulnerable republican incumbents and democrats have endorsed the mayor of Redlands to replace him in next year's election.
