The main issue is the tidelands oil battle, with Douglas supporting the Supreme Court ruling awarding the tidelands to the Federal Government, while Downey advocates for state ownership. Douglas is a progressive legislator known for her work in Congress and relationships with influential figures like F.D.R. She faces a tough battle against Downey, who has the support of big landowners and oilmen. The primary election will be held in June, and the campaign is expected to be heated, with Douglas facing accusations of being a socialist or communist by some Republicans.
