Editor’s note: Election result numbers in the story will continue to be updated. The numbers in the graphic below are the most up-to-date. Republican Alexandra Duarte held an early lead over Democrat Jaron Brandon on Tuesday night in California’s closely watched Senate District 4 race, as both candidates expressed optimism about their chances and emphasized the rising cost of living as a major concern for voters.
