Incumbents hold leads in Stockton area Assembly races

Incumbents Heath Flora and Rhodesia Ransom appeared firmly in control of their California Assembly races as updated vote totals continued to favor both candidates As of Nov. 9, Flora led challenger Matthew Adams in the Assembly District 9 race, 56.9% to 43.1%. In Assembly District 13, Ransom held 66.7% of the vote, while challenger Tom Patti had 33.3%. Adams was not ready to concede in a Nov. 9 interview with The Stockton Record, saying he was "waiting on the next release." Patti, meanwhile, thanked his supporters in a Nov. 9 statement to The Stockton Record and attributed his apparent loss to a broader trend he saw in the midterm elections nationwide. "We clearly see that the country and the region have chosen to go a certain path," Patti said. "The results are the results." Ransom was hopeful in a Nov. 5 statement. "I’m grateful for everyone across District 13 who has stood with us and believed in the work we’re doing," Ransom said. "As votes continue to come in, I’m encouraged by the support we’re seeing and proud of what we’ve accomplished over the past two years."
