No. Don't let primary numbers fool you, particularly when one party has a contested primary, and the other doesn't, and it is an open primary, because it is a special election. But it is a fairly strong lean GOP district, and the GOP nominee will be a heavy favorite in the runoff special general, particularly given that state legislative elections are so anonymous, in anonymous urban California. Few have a clue who the candidates are, or care, and just vote party.
