What Went Down In The June 7 Primaries

One more update from the AP — it’s reporting that Padilla will also advance to the general election for the Senate seat’s next full term this fall (no big surprise there). His opponent has not yet been declared, but Meuser is running second in this race, too.

The AP is also reporting that Newsom will advance to the general election this fall. His opponent is yet to be declared, but it’s likely to be state Sen. Brian Dahle.

The Associated Press has said incumbent Alex Padilla will advance to the November special election for U.S. Senate in California. One other candidate will join him. Padilla is currently at 56 percent, with closest competitor Republican Mark Meuser back at 20 percent. James Bradley, another Republican who challenged Padilla for his post, netted about 7 percent of the vote.
