Only two people appeared on the ballot for California’s 44th Congressional District race during Tuesday’s primary election — and both are moving on to face each other again in the November general election.
When early tallies were announced by the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters, around 9:15 p.m., Democratic Rep. Nanette Barragán held 74% of the vote while healthcare executive Genevieve Angel, a Republican, had 26%. Barragán is seeking her sixth term.

But regardless of what the final vote count will be, both candidates will face off again in November.
In California, the top two candidates in a congressional race, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the runoff — even if there were only two people running in the primary and one receives a majority of the vote.
The 44th Congressional District runs through parts of South Los Angeles, southeastern L.A. County and the Harbor Area. It includes communities such as Vernon, Huntington Park, Florence-Graham, South Gate, Lynwood, Paramount, Carson, Wilmington and San Pedro.
This is a solidly blue district, where 54.63% of registered voters are Democrats and 15.11% are Republicans. No party preference voters make up 23.45% of the registered voters here.
Vote tallies will be updated throughout the night and in the coming days as more ballots are counted, so check back periodically for the latest information.
