What Went Down In The June 7 Primaries
We’re also just now getting results from the 37th District. If you’ve been following this race closely, this shouldn’t be too big of a shock, but state Sen. Sydney Kamlager — who already represents most of the 37th District in the state Senate — is currently leading the pack with 44 percent of the vote. It might be a tough race for second vote-getter, however. Kamlager’s closest competitors currently are Jan Perry at 19 percent and Daniel Lee at 17 percent.

With about a third of the vote counted in California’s 5th, Rep. Tom McClintock is in good position with 43 percent. McClintock could have been vulnerable because he currently represents just 40 percent of the new district, but his closest GOP challenger, Fresno County Supervisor Nathan Magsig, is in third with just 12 percent. Democrat Michael Barkley is in second with 37 percent.
According to the Associated Press, incumbent California Attorney General Rob Bonta will make the general election. His opponent looks likely to be one of two Republicans, Nathan Hochman (currently at 17 percent) or Eric Early (14 percent).
