Midterm elections: Bill Clinton coming to Coachella Valley

Midterm elections are exactly a week away now and there are some tightly contested races in Southern California.

For example, in Ventura County, Democratic Congresswoman Julia Brownley is campaigning to protect her seat from Republican Assemblyman Jeff Gorell.

Out in Redlands, Mayor Pete Aguilar - also a Democrat - is running to represent the 31st district.

And each is getting support from some political heavy hitters on both sides of the aisle.

This Wednesday, Bill Clinton is expected to join Brownley, Aguilar and Dr. Raul Ruiz from the Coachella Valley for a Get Out the Vote rally in Oxnard.
