What Went Down In The June 7 Primaries

In California’s 47th, just under 60 percent of the vote has been counted but the outcome here was never really in doubt. Democratic Rep. Katie Porter is tracking to face former state Assembly Minority Leader Scott Baugh, a Republican, in the November general election. Porter currently has 58 percent of the vote to Baugh’s 27 percent. This is one of the few races Republicans hope to put in play in California this fall, as they believe Porter is too liberal for her Orange County district.

We’re also starting to see some results out of California’s 15th District — with the caveat, again, that it’s still early. As I mentioned earlier, Mullin is the leading candidate to watch. Results so far suggest he’s in good shape. The Democrat currently leads with 43 percent of the vote. His closest opponent, David Canepa, has netted about 24 percent support so far.

We have 26 percent of the expected vote reporting in California’s 13th District, an open, Democratic-leaning seat with a partisan lean of D+7. Democratic Assemblyman Adam Gray is in first place with 36 percent, while Republican John Duarte is in second with 27 percent. Gray and Duarte were both the preferred candidates of their party leadership.
