What Went Down In The June 7 Primaries
With about 30 percent of the vote counted in California’s 3rd District, it’s increasingly clear that Democrat Kermit Jones, a physician and veteran, will earn a spot in the November general election. Vying for the second spot are state Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who is endorsed by Trump, and Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones. Currently, Kermit Jones has 42 percent, Kiley has 35 percent and Scott Jones is in third with 16 percent.

The first votes are starting to trickle in in the California attorney general race. With an estimated 11 percent of the vote reporting, incumbent Democrat Rob Bonta leads with 54 percent. Republican Nathan Hochman is in second place with 23 percent. Independent Anne Marie Schubert, probably the only candidate who could give Bonta a scare in November, is in fourth place with just 7 percent.
With 11 percent of the expected vote in, Newsom has 58 percent of the vote and Republican challenger Brian Dahle has 18 percent of the vote. No surprises here.
