Early vote counts show state and federal incumbents headed to November runoff elections.

In a three-way race for the 29th Assembly District, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas leads with 63 percent of the total count, over two Republican challengers.

Rivas spent election night in Los Angeles at Xavier Becerra’s event, where Becerra celebrated a lead over other Democrats for governor and appears to be headed to the November general election.

In the race for the 18th Congressional District, Rep. Zoe Lofgren leads with 32,122 votes or 52 percent of the total in a four-way race, ahead of Republican Shane Lewis with 20,567 votes or 33 percent.

Lofgren says she no longer gets nervous on Election Day and will be celebrating the primary results by voting yes on the War Powers Act when she returns to Washington, D.C.

“I am honored to have your trust to continue fighting in Congress for our communities. Californians are demanding that Washington focus on pocketbook issues, not vanity projects and culture wars,” she said in a statement issued on Tuesday night.
