Here's a look at early results in the state races...
With 10 of 246 precincts reporting, Long Beach City Councilwoman Bonnie Lowenthal, a Democrat, was looking good for a seat in the California Assembly's 54th District, earning 49.9 percent of the vote over Republican challenger Gabriella Holt's 44.6 percent.
That district stretches from Long Beach to the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Lowenthal's people were confident her narrow lead would expand, and the councilwoman told politics reporter Gene Maddaus that she intended to get to work on environmental issues.
"People in Palos Verdes are as conscious of the environmental challenges we face as the people in Long Beach," she said. "I intend to continue my record of finding solutions to the crisis we have been facing in air quality."
Former Assemblyman Rod Wright was handily winning a seat in the 25th Senate District with 42 of 433 precincts reporting. He had 62.8 percent of the vote, to challenger Lydia Gutierrez's 37.2 percent.
In other races early returns, Ted Lieu had 61.8 percent of the vote; Warren Furutani had 66 percent; and Warren Furutani had 70.7 percent.
