California Election Results Take Shape
California voters cast their ballots on Tuesday and the results are starting to take shape. Governor-elect Xavier Becerra held his first press conference this week but offered few details of his agenda for next year. Jane Kim declared victory in the insurance commissioner race, although her opponent has not yet conceded.
Candidates backed by Silicon Valley are leading most of their Assembly and Senate contests, while several Democrat-versus-Democrat congressional races produced surprising outcomes. Locally, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee scored big wins. The politics team digs into all of it.
