Former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo has already locked in his spot for the November runoff
Assemblymember Evan Low on Wednesday jumped ahead of Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian in the race to replace U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo as the two battle it out for the second spot in the November general election.
Though Low had fewer votes than Simitian on Election Day, he has since picked up steam over the last week as more mail-in ballots have come in — particularly in Santa Clara County.

One of the planks of the communist is to control one or both parties. So, running all Democrats or RINO’s, claiming to be conservative, is an outworking of that plank.
It’s a squeaker indeed, that’s the noise 🐀 RATS make.
Why is silicon valley so liberal?
Engineers are usually conservative!
Progressive? You mean Maoist...surely.
Isn’t silicon valley more of a software “engineering” place? I would guess they leverage hardware functionality with “engineered” software solutions. Their main goal, it would appear, is to make software to help individuals accomplish goals...and monopolize the monetization of such. More of a social “engineering” enterprise.
IMHO
American citizen Engineers are usually conservative!
Fixed it for you. American engineers are as rare as hen's teeth in Silicon Valley.
Thanks for the correction.
Yes, I had once a job interview there, talked to bunch of people, and never met any native American.
Needless to say, I have not gotten the job.
Actually, I found it’s often the opposite.
Because he’s Asian? I don’t think Maoists are gay-friendly.
Nope...because he’s a Rat. Today’s Rats look to one of two books as their “bible”:....Rules For Radicals or Mao’s Little Red Book.And given that Mao killed far more people than Saul Alinsky I regularly to use the word “Maoist” when talking about Rats.
