Incumbent State Representative Micaela Lara Cadena and challenger Ramona Martinez joined Peter Goodman and Jamie Bronstein for a House District 33 Democratic primary forum. Martinez, an attorney with a background in state government and criminal defense, focused on infrastructure, health care access, and public safety. Cadena highlighted her capital outlay work in the district's historical communities and her role in redirecting the state gas tax toward road repair. Project Jupiter dominated the second half — both candidates said they would support returning the project to Energy Transition Act requirements, and Cadena linked the fast-tracking of the gas pipeline to Project Jupiter's role in the Trump administration's Stargate AI initiative. The segment closed with a sharp exchange over oil and gas funding and independent expenditures by a Jupiter lobbyist.
