Morning after: local results

Here is the latest vote count for CD 45, Cal AD 64 and HUSD. About 87 to 90 percent of total precincts have been counted. I assume the only doubt now is the final vote tally. Looks like Congresswoman Bono Mack and Assemblyman Nestande were re-elected.

Joe Wojcik returns to the HUSD board accompanied by fellow HTA endorsees, HORACIO ''ROSS'' VALENZUELA, and Paul Bakkom, who defeated 20 year incumbent Phylis Petri.
