Gov. Newsom & Sen. Padilla Advance To General Election
(Sacramento, CA) — Governor Gavin Newsom and U.S. Senator Alex Padilla are advancing to the general election this fall. Politico reports Newsom and Republican Brian Dahle will head to a runoff in November. As the race was called, Newsom had over 50-percent of the vote. In the U.S. Senate race, Padilla entered as a heavy favorite to retain the seat. He is competing in a special election to fill the remainder of Vice President Kamala Harris’ term, which ends on January 3 next year, and for a full six-year term that would end in 2029. It appears Republican Mark Meuser will be the challenger in November.
