Anybody who thought that redistricting and a top two primary system would dislodge incumbents will wake up this morning sadly disappointed. Every sitting legislator who ran for re-election to his/her current seat, or who ran for another legislative office in the Senate or Congress made the cut to advance to the November run-offs. Where big bucks were spent to unseat an incumbent, AD 33 (Donnelly), AD 50 (Butler), and AD 74 (Mansoor), nothing came of it.
In the contested Senate races: SD 5, Berryhill handily beat Ornellas to place second behind Galgiani. SD 19, Stoker first, followed by Jackson, with the rooky Hodge a very distant third. SD 27, political novice Zink narrowly nosed out Pavley, an outcome that should encourage GOP leaders to up their bet there. SD 31, Steinberg's handpicked candidate Roth swept by Clute to place second and will face Miller in November.
In contested Assembly races:
AD 3 -- Columbo Logue survived a same party challenge and will runoff against the Dem.
AD 5 -- Two Reps, Rico Oller and Frank Bigelow, will clash in the general.
AD 6 -- Gaines first; Dem Bronner and Rep Pugno too close to call for second.
AD 8 -- Cooley first; too close to call between Ortega and Tateishi.
AD 10 -- Two Dems, Allen and Levine, made the cut.
AD 11 -- Oakley Mayor Frazier meets Suisun City Mayor Hudson.
AD 18 -- Bonta and Guillen, both Dems, head to November.
AD 23 -- Former Fresno Mayor Patterson first; second spot too close to call between Dem Rojas and Fresno DA Whalen.
AD 32 -- Dem Salas first; Connie Conway's handpicked successor to Valadao (McQuiston) lost to Rep porta-pottie business owner Rios.
AD 33 -- Easy win for Donnelly over Big Bear Lake Mayor Jahn; SEIU attacks on Donnelly boosted Dem Coffey.
AD 36 -- Too close to call; two Reps Lackey and Smith and Dem Fox split the vote almost equally.
AD 38 -- Wilk will face the Dem Headington in November.
AD 39 -- Alarcon and Bacanegra will clash again in November.
AD 41 -- Holden will face tea party favorite Lowe in the runoff.
AD 44 -- Gorell ran better than his registration and gets the weaker of the two Dems (MacEnery) in November.
AD 47 -- Two Dems, Baca Jr. and Brown, go another round in November.
AD 48 -- Hernandez' DUI hurt, he came in second to an unknown Rep!
AD 49 -- Rep orthopedist Lin gets 51% against two Dems in a 25% GOP district.
AD 57 -- Negative campaigns of Bermudez and Calderon give the top spot to Rep Jaimes. Second place too close to call.
AD 58 -- Negative campaings of Calderon and Marquez give the top spot to Rep. Kotze-Ramos and #2 to Dem math professor Christina Garcia.
AD 66 -- Dem DA Muratsuchi will clash with Rep marketer Huey in a toss-up November contest.
AD 67 -- Two Reps, Paule and Melindez, square off in November.
AD 69 -- Dem Daly wins first easily; faces Rep Moreno who tried to drop out of the race and may be ineligible to run because of Hatch Act issues.
AD 74 -- Rep Edgar will face Dem Dovinh in the runoff.
AD 76 -- Two Rep runoff; Chavez first and Hodges second.
AD 79 -- Crowded Dem field lets Rep England take second, she will face communications professor Shirley Weber in November.
