Brian Goldsmith Rick Marshall SD-24 Runoff Set for November
According to the California Secretary of State, 60% of the estimated vote has been counted as of 12:30p Wednesday. Marshall led with 20.46% and 37,902 votes. Goldsmith was in second at 18.48% with 34,242 votes. West Hollywood City Councilmember John Erickson, who entered the race with the backing of the full California labor movement, was in third at 16.38% with 30,340 votes — trailing Marshall by more than 7,500. Vote center ballots, cast in person on Election Day, accounted for nearly 30% of all ballots counted — and they seemed to have broken heavily for Marshall, whose South Bay base turned out in force. The race will not be officially certified until July 10.
