Two weeks since Californians went to the polls for the March 5 primary, results in two key races were still too close to call: California’s Congressional District 16 election and the hotly contested Proposition 1, aimed at tackling homelessness and mental health.
Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian and Assemblymember Evan Low are both vying for a spot in the November general election, hoping to go head-to-head with former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo in the race to replace longtime Silicon Valley Congresswoman Anna Eshoo.
The campaign was projected to achieve an easy victory. Earlier, Newsom touted the expected success of Prop 1, dubbed the "Treatment not Tents" measure, which would authorize $6.4 billion in bonds to move people off the streets and into permanent housing.
