Runoff Set in Special Election for Swalwell’s House Seat

A special election for former California Rep. Eric Swalwell’s House seat is headed to a runoff after no candidate received a majority of the vote, DDHQ projected Thursday evening.

DDHQ projected that California state Sen. Aisha Wahab, a Democrat, and Bay Area transportation official Melissa Hernandez, a Democrat, finished as the top two vote-getters.

The runoff will determine who fills the House seat formerly held by Swalwell, DDHQ said.
