Our editorial team members reserve the right to remove content they deem as spam or unrelated to the ongoing conversation.

California update: American Independent Party candidate Tami Nobriga will face off against Republican Heath Flora for California’s State Assembly District 9 later this year. Neither she nor Flora were contested.
Race worth noting from Super Tuesday: California’s 37th Congressional District Primary is currently between incumbent Democratic Rep. Sydney Kamlager and independent candidate Juan Rey. I’m told Rey may also be a member of the Working Families Party, but have not confirmed. At this time, the second Democrat is narrowly in third with a Peace and Freedom candidate just as narrowly behind them.
According to the NYT, results are still less than half in as of today.
