Campaign 2016

Here are the election results you want to know

First, the big one. Hillary Clinton has 55.8 percent statewide to Bernie Sanders' 43.2 percent. in Los Angeles County she won by a couple more points. Clinton clinched the Democratic nomination but Sanders vows to continue campaigning. The local Sanders headquarters last night was at the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport.

In the U.S. Senate race, Kamala Harris (40.3 percent) and Loretta Sanchez (18.5) will meet in a two-Democrat general election. The top Republican in the results, Def Sundheim, got 8 percent.

Here are some cherry picked results from around the area. Final results are very much still in play, with an unknown number of votes still to be counted. But these are basically 100 percent of precincts reported. For more, the statewide results are available here. The LA County election results are updated here.

In the Board of Supervisors 5th district, Antonovich deputy Kathryn Barger finished first with 29.7 percent. Who she will meet in the runoff with could still shift if there are enough uncounted ballots out there, but in second place now is Darrell Park at 15.0 percent. Bob Huff is fewer than 500 votes behind at 14.8 percent. Councilman Mitch Englander is fifth with 12.3 percent.

In the 4th supervisor district, Democrat Janice Hahn is at 47.3 percent and has a fight on her hands. Republican Steve Napolitano received 40 percent.

In the races for Congress:

in the 25th district, Republican Steve Knight got 49.1 percent to Democrat Bryan Caforio's 28.6 percent, so they will get to do it again.

in the 29th, Tony Cardenas glided easily to 62.2 percent, but noted is that former City Councilman Richard Alarcon got 13.2 percent and second place.

In the 44th, Isadore Hall fininished first with 41.5 percent. The general will be with fellow Democrat Nanette Barragan, who received 21.6 percent. Hall was served with legal papers in a civil lawsuit while at his election night party.

In the state legislative districts:

Former Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra, with 45.7 percent, finished well ahead of incumbent Patty Lopez, 26.9 percent, in the 39th Assembly district in the East Valley. She is the Democrat who won unexpectedly two years ago and has not been very supported by the party.

Supervisor Mike Antonovich, trying to return to the state legislature for the first time in decades, finished first in the 25th state Senate district with 39.2 percent. He will face Democrat A.J. Portantino, who received 27.8 percent.

In the 27th Senate district, it's Republican Steve Fazio with 37.5 percent and Democrat Henry Stern at 26.5 percent. I previously gave just the Los Angeles County numbers.

In the 30th Senate district, the general will pit two Democrats: Steven Bradford 36.4 percent and Warren Furutani 23.8 percent. Furutani's hold on second place is less than two points.

It will be two Democrats in the 43rd Assembly district: Laura Friedman 32.0 percent and Ardy Kassakhian 24.3 percent. And in the 53rd: Miguel Santiago 47.0 percent and Sandra Mendoza 39.6 percent.
