Republicans Confront Narrow Assembly Edge Ahead of November
The Republicans hold a slim 40 to 39 edge in the Assembly and a 21 to 19 Senate margin as incumbents win party endorsements in a subdued primary. Notable votes flowed to late Assemblyman Patrick McGee of Van Nuys, who died last week, drawing over 20 000 ballots. Possible fill actions include a GOP replacement in McGee’s seat or a special election by Gov Reagan.
