Alysse Castro will be the new County Superintendent of Schools\u00a0<\/strong>with 53.17% of the vote, over LK Monroe’s\u00a046.83%. Monroe has conceded.<\/p>\n

Yesenia Sanchez will be our new Sheriff<\/strong>.\u00a0 She leads by 52.84%, (57,821 votes) over Gregory Ahern, who has conceded.<\/p>\n

Pamela Price and Terry Wiley will face off for the\u00a0District Attorney race in Novembe<\/strong>r. This race will be hotly contested as the November election turnout will be higher and the voters who went for\u00a0Jimmie L Wilson and Seth Steward must choose a new champion.<\/p>\n

Other local races<\/strong><\/p>\n

County supervisor for District #3<\/strong>\u00a0 which includes Alameda, San Leandro, a portion of Oakland, including Chinatown, Jack London, Fruitvale, and San Antonio;\u00a0top vote getter\u00a0Rebecca Kaplan<\/strong>\u00a0and runner up\u00a0Lena Tam<\/strong>\u00a0will face off in November.<\/p>\n

Oakland’s Library Tax<\/strong>, Measure C, passed resoundingly\u00a0at\u00a082.35 % of the vote.<\/p>\n

Turnout for the June Primary in Alameda County was low at 32.8% of registered voters (as of June 15). This compares to primary turnout in 2020: 51.19%; 2018 at 66.77% and 2016 of 49.33%.\u00a0The county Registrar of Voters reports\u00a0that they have only 104 ballots left to count.\u00a0Final official results must be reported to the Secretary of State by July 8, who will certify the election on July 15.<\/p>\n

Statewide<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are\u00a0more than 540,000 votes left to count statewide. The anointed Democrats did well in all races except State Controller. Republican candidates took some far northern\u00a0and central California\u00a0counties. Here is how the results look as of June 15th.<\/p>\n

Governor Newsom<\/strong>\u00a0(56.2%) will face Republican Brian Dahle of\u00a0rural Lassen County (17.5%).<\/p>\n

Lt. Gov:<\/strong>\u00a0Kounalakis (52.9%) will face\u00a0Republican Angela E. Underwood Jacobs (19.8%)<\/p>\n

Secretary \u00a0of State\u00a0<\/strong>Shirley Weber (59.2%) will face Republican Rob Bernosky (18.7%)<\/p>\n

Controller:\u00a0<\/strong>The endorsed Democrat, African American Malia Cohen received just 22.7% of the vote,\u00a0winning races only in coastal counties from Mendocino to Santa Cruz, plus Santa Clara and Alameda County. The top voter getter in this race is Republican Lanhee Chen (37.0%), a conservative policy wonk and professor at the Hoover Institute and Stanford. However, three\u00a0Democrat candidates and a Green candidate split out 40.3% of the vote –\u00a0voters for these candidates are unlikely to turn to a Republican\u00a0in November.<\/p>\n

Treasurer<\/strong>: Fiona Ma (57.7%) will face Republican Jack M. Guerrero (21.7%)<\/p>\n

Attorney General<\/strong>: Rob Bonta (54.7%) looks to be facing Republican Nathan Hochman\u00a0(18.2%), but another Republican, Eric Early is close at 16%.<\/p>\n

Insurance Commissioner<\/strong>: Ricardo Lara has (36.2%); but the second position\u00a0is pending\u00a0between three Republican candidates: Robert Howell and Mark Levine have 18%; Greg Conlon has 16%.<\/p>\n

Superintendent of Public Instruction<\/strong>: Incumbent Tony K. Thurmond garnered 46.1 %. It’s a close race for the #2 slot:\u00a0between Lance Ray Christensen\u00a0(11.8%),\u00a0Berkeley High alum\u00a0and teacher Ainye Long (11.1%) and\u00a0George Yang (11%).<\/p>\n

US Senate<\/strong>: Alex Padilla (54.4%\/55.3%) faces Republican Mark Meuser (14.8\/21.9%), for both the next full term and the remainder of the\u00a0current term.<\/p>\n

State Board of Equalization, Alameda County District 2:\u00a0<\/strong>Sally J. Lieber (53.1%) will face Republican Peter Coe Verbica (27.8%)<\/p>\n

House of Reps, District 12:<\/strong>\u00a0Barbara Lee got 87.7% to Republican Stephen Slauson’s 5.3%<\/p>\n

State Assembly, District 14<\/strong>: unopposed incumbent Buffy Wicks\u00a0got 84,619\u00a0votes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
