From the California Secretary of State
In a bit of a surprise, Los Angeles County Prosecutor and political novice, Republican Todd Zink, beat Democratic incumbent California State Senator Fran Pavley last night in a head to head match-up. They will repeat the contest again in November under California’s top two election system.
While you cannot compare these results with the November general election, where voter turn-out will be far greater and Pavley will actually campaign while spending tons of campaign cash, the result will give the Republican Senate leaders someone else to raise money for.
A good result for Todd Zink who will face a formidable challenge in Pavley this fall.
