Incumbent Ted Lieu will return to Congress to represent the 33rd District after he took home more than 66 percent of the vote to defeat challenger Dr. Kenneth Wright.

Wright, an ophthalmologist who founded the Wright Center in L.A. to help reduce blindness and eye disorders in children, entered the race because he believes citizens should be more involved in government and defines himself as a progressive Republican, though he has never run for public office.

Lieu, a Democrat, spent 2005-2014 in the State Legislature before he succeeded former Congressman Henry Waxman. Looking to his second term, Lieu said he will continue to advocate for cyber security. He said the country’s cyber defenses are “not what they should be” as the world engages more and more in a new domain of warfare. He said he will continue to build relationships with Republican colleagues to continue the government’s progression.
