California Primary of June 5, 2018

Independent candidate Steve Poizner, running for California Insurance Commissioner, received approximately 44% of the vote, in a race that included two Democrats, a Peace & Freedom member, but no Republicans. He will run against Democratic State Senator Ricardo Lara in November. He held the same position 2006-2010, but for that term, he had been elected as a Republican. UPDDATE: here is a link to the Secretary of State’s election returns page.

If he wins in November, he will be the first non-major member to be elected to a statewide partisan post in California since 1914, when Progressive Party nominee Hiram Johnson was re-elected Governor.

The 2018 turnout is estimated to be 31.5% of the number of registered voters. Turnout for other California midterm primaries has been:

1978 68.9%
1982 52.7%
1986 40.5%
1990 41.5%
1994 35.1%
1998 42.5%
2002 34.6%
2006 33.6%
2010 33.3%
2014 25.2%

Assuming the 31.5% estimate is correct, that would make 2018 the second-lowest midterm primary in California history.

It appears that all of the U.S. House districts carried by Hillary Clinton in November 2016, but which now have Republican Representatives, will have one Republican and one Democrat on the November 2018 election.
