What Went Down In The June 7 Primaries

The eventual outcome is becoming more apparent in California’s 37th District, too. With about 50 percent of the expected vote in, state Sen. Sydney Kamlager seems all but assured to make the November general election with 44 percent of the vote. It might be too early, however, to know who she’ll likely face in the fall. Results so far show that L.A. Councilwoman Jan Perry and Culver City Mayor Daniel Lee are running tight in second at 18 percent and 17 percent, respectively.

We’re up to 50 percent reporting in California’s 13th District, and Gray and Duarte still occupy the top two slots. However, Phil Arballo — who is running as a more liberal Democrat than Gray — is still within striking distance.

Nothing’s been projected yet with about 60 percent of the expected vote in for California’s 27th District, but it’s very likely we are going to get Garcia-Smith Round 3: The Midterm Matchup. GOP Rep. Mike Garcia defeated former Assemblywoman Christy Smith in a May 2020 special and in the November 2020 general election by a little over 300 votes, so they could have another very close election this fall, assuming there are no more surprises tonight. And with their leads, that seems unlikely: Garcia is at 43 percent, Smith is at 41 percent and the other supposedly competitive Democrat, Navy veteran Quaye Quartey, is way back with 7 percent.
