SAN FRANCISCO—Two California Republican candidates for the 2018 midterm elections have been reaching out to their supporters in a very unconventional way: Instead of running for office, they have been “riding” for office, on a bike tour.

Mark Meuser for secretary of state and Konstantinos Roditis for state controller have campaigned on their mountain bikes. Meuser started the tour by himself from Martinez County on July 9, and Roditis joined him on Aug. 1.
