Early California primary results showed Scott Wiener, James Gallagher and Adam Gray leading in three congressional races, with the top two candidates in each race expected to advance to the November general election. The results were unofficial and still being counted.
The article reported that early unofficial results on Tuesday night put James Gallagher ahead in California’s 1st Congressional District race with 47.1%, while Mike McGuire had 38.6%. Gallagher praised the late Doug LaMalfa in a social media statement, and McGuire said he expected to flip the seat in November. The article said the two would likely face each other in the general election.
