LOS ANGELES — Democratic newcomer Lourin Hubbard will advance to a runoff in June to replace California Republican Devin Nunes in the U.S. House, The Associated Press reported Friday.
Hubbard’s opponent will be former GOP legislative leader Connie Conway, who served on the Tulare County Board of Supervisors before being elected to the California Assembly in 2008. The onetime Assembly minority leader has led the vote count since Tuesday night.
Neither Conway nor Hubbard has filed to run for Congress in the fall, when district boundaries will change.
