Damon Connolly appears to be headed for victory in the open Assembly District 12 race. Connolly has 54-percent of the vote while Sara Aminzadeh has 45-percent. District 12 is made up of about half of Sonoma County and all of Marin County. Though the seat is technically new, Connolly is essentially replacing Assemblyman Marc Levine. Damon currently serves as a Marin County Supervisor.
Meanwhile, three democrats representing parts of Sonoma County have been reelected to the California legislature. All three beat Republican challengers on Tuesday. State Senator Mike McGuire of Healdsburg beat Gene Yoon with about 75-percent of the vote. Second District Assemblyman Jim Wood of Santa Rosa has more than 70-percent of the vote against Charlotte Svolos. And Fourth District Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry of Winters has about two-thirds of the vote over Bryan Pritchard.
