Gov. Gavin Newsom handily won the recall election six months ago and did so again in Tuesday’s primary, advancing to the November general election where he will face a Republican state senator.
Newsom dominated statewide with 67% of the vote — well ahead of his 25 challengers with 24% of precincts reporting. Locally, he followed suit with 55.4% of the vote.
CA is the antidote — leading with compassion, common-sense and science. Treasuring diversity, defending democracy, and protecting our planet.
Here's to continuing that fight. (2/2)

Republican state Sen. Brian Dahle, a farmer from Lassen County in the far north, trailed with 15.3% of the vote statewide and 21.6% locally.
