Races Worth Watching

Contests Hermosa Beach voters did not cast ballots in, but whose outcomes shape the region.

What’s on the ballot: Alongside the statewide governor, Insurance Commissioner, and Superintendent of Public Instruction races and the countywide Sheriff contest and Measure ER, Hermosa Beach sits in U.S. House District 36, State Senate District 24, and State Assembly District 66; the Senate and Assembly seats are both open this year, making them the local races to watch. The Insurance Commissioner race features termed-out SD-24 Senator Ben Allen, whose district was hit by the Palisades Fire, and the Superintendent race includes AD-66 Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, who left his seat to run for it.

Returns are unofficial and will change as counting continues. The Governor and Los Angeles mayor results reflect the Associated Press count (about 88 and 93 percent of the expected vote); the Associated Press and the NBC News Decision Desk have projected Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton into the Governor runoff, and Karen Bass and Nithya Raman into the mayoral runoff after Raman passed Spencer Pratt in later mail ballots. The other statewide and district contests (Insurance Commissioner, Superintendent, and the House, Senate, and Assembly seats) reflect the Secretary of State’s election-night batch from June 2. The countywide Sheriff, Measure ER, and Supervisor races reflect the Los Angeles County Registrar’s June 8 update; Measure ER, which trailed on election night, moved narrowly ahead as later mail ballots were counted and now leads by about 13,000 votes with roughly 148,000 ballots left, so its outcome remains unsettled. The amber marker shows an apparent or projected advancing finisher, not a final result. County counts update through June 26; results are certified July 10.
