th Assembly District to replace newly appointed Attorney General Rob Bonta, Indian American Janani Ramachandran managed to get enough of the vote in the June 29 primary election to advance to a special election runoff next month.

In attempting to replace her husband, Bonta garnered 16,228 votes for 37.62 percent, winning the primary convincingly, but not enough to win the seat outright on June 29.
