The race for California's 13th Congressional District is expected to attract national attention in November. Despite Proposition 50 redistricting efforts, Gray is expecting a competitive race due to the newly drawn CA-13. Gray, who is currently the incumbent, said he is focused on bipartisan issues and is one of the few Democrats in Congress that is actually on the SPEED Act, which reduces red tape, makes it easier to build and deliver projects. He also criticized the Trump Administration for making poor decisions that have resulted in higher costs. Gray said he would not vote to support the Iran War and that his record reflects the district he represents.
