Via The Daily News:
Early returns showed Mike Garcia out to a widening lead over Christy Smith late Tuesday, May 12, in the dramatic, pandemic-framed Los Angeles County race for a key seat in Congress.
Preliminary results from the Secretary of State’s office showed Garcia, a Republican, with a 56% to 44% lead over Smith, the Democratic assemblywoman, for the Congressional District 25 seat. The post represents an area from the northern San Fernando Valley to the Simi Valley to the Antelope Valley to a sliver of Ventura County. The results so far represent mostly mail-in ballots returned before Tuesday, and 2,861 in-person ballots cast during an early voting period at L.A. County’s vote centers.
President Trump weighed in this morning.
Big Congressional win in California for Mike Garcia, taking back a seat from the Democrats. This is the first time in many years that a California Dem seat has flipped back to a Republican. Also, Tom Tiffany beat his Democrat rival BIG in Wisconsin. Two great Congressional WINS!
