The California Secretary of State’s web page for election returns from June 2016 now shows that Preston Picus placed second for U.S. House, 12th district, behind Democrat Nancy Pelosi and ahead of Republican candidate Bob Miller. The June 21 results are: Picus 16,581; Miller 16,546. This will be the first time in history that no Republican has been on the ballot for U.S. House in the San Francisco-based district.

There will be eight U.S. House races in November in California with no Republican on the ballot. This is somewhat similar to 2014, when there were 9 such districts.
