Who’s Winning California’s Statewide Races? Here’s What We Know so Far

Partial counts show front-runners in races for attorney general, lieutenant governor and other statewide offices as Californians choose November ballot finalists.

  • On Tuesday, California voters cast ballots for several statewide offices, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the November general election.
  • Voters considered roles ranging from the Lieutenant governor, who casts tie-breaking votes in a gridlocked Senate, to the Insurance commissioner regulating an embattled market grappling with wildfire risks.
  • In State Board races, Republican state Sen. Shannon Grove leads District 1 with 36.1% of the vote, while Democratic incumbent Sally Lieber commands 53.7% in District 2.
  • Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis leads the field with 36.3% of the vote, while Attorney General Rob Bonta advances to defend his seat against Republican Michael Gates.
  • Democratic incumbent Malia Cohen moves to the general election, while the superintendent race remains competitive after influential education organizations bypassed veteran lawmakers to endorse Democrat Richard Barrera.
