Hosmer Nominated by GOP In South Dakota Race
Hosmer, 37-year-old Long Beach attorney, won the Republican nomination for the 18th District Congress as Grant trailed narrowly for the GOP nod. Grant, though leading Democrats on the ballot, cannot accept the Democratic nomination, leaving a race to face Hosmer in November. Klockstein won both party nominations for the 44th District Assemblyman, and Bradley and Desmond led the 70th District race. Park defeated Proposition K while two city measures passed. Official returns show Hosmer and Grant contending for the GOP nod, with Grant unable to accept the Democratic bid.
