Barely 8% of registered voters bothered showing up for the 8/21 election to replace the late Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-CA 37). But it still counts, and state Assemb. Laura Richardson (D) is CA-37’s new congresswoman. The results, with 100% of the precincts reporting:
Laura Richardson (D): 67%
John Kanaley (R): 25%
Daniel Brezenoff (I): 5%
Herb Peters (L): 2%
Richardson’s general election win was a foregone conclusion in a CD where Dems have a 58%-20% registration edge. The toughest race for Richardson was the 6/26 blanket primary, when she defeated state Sen. Jenny Oropeza (D) and nine others for the right to move onto the general. Richardson will be sworn in 9/4.
