Just months after Gov. Gavin Newsom survived a recall effort against him in September, the results of the California Primary race are in.
Early returns Tuesday showed Newsom receiving just over 60% of the vote. He was far ahead of second-place finisher Dahle, a Republican state lawmaker and farmer from the sparsely populated northeast corner of the state that borders Oregon and Nevada
"Across the country Republicans are attacking our fundamental rights as Americans. Destroying democracy, stripping a woman of the right to choose, and standing idly by as gun violence claims too many lives," Newsom said in a statement. "California is the antidote to their cynicism -- leading with compassion, common-sense and science. Treasuring diversity, defending democracy, and protecting our planet. Here's to continuing that fight."Just one year ago, it looked as if Newsom could be on his way out as more than 1.7 million voters signed a petition to recall him from office.
The governor's race was just one of a multitude of state office races, including lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state controller, treasurer, attorney general, insurance commissioner, member of state board of equalization and state superintendent of public instruction.
