I have said im going to works across the aisle, work with republicans, independents and democrats and thats what this district wants. Reporter well, honda did finish the june primary 20 points ahead of ro khanna but its been a Bruising Campaign and right now the latest kpix 5 poll does show them in a dead heat. Veronica . All right. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. Linda, thank you. And we are expecting anything could happen as well tonight in the oakland mayoral race. 15 candidates want the citys top job, all are trying to unseat current mayor jean quan. Oakland uses rank Choice Voting where people list first, second and third choices and because there are so many people running, it could be days before a winner is declared.
