Democrats poised to win California Senate control
CAPTURE SENATE SAN FRANCISCO June 6 P Democrats may capture control of the California State Senate for the first time in history. Democrats won 15 and Republicans 14 of 40 seats in Tuesday's primary. Under California law, it is possible to win election in a primary by capturing both major party nominations. Democrats had a good chance of running the margin up to 17 14 in the primary. This would mean they could gain control by capturing only four of nine contests in November. The Republican margin now is 22 18.
