5:29 am
an outspoken in support of israel's right to defend itself. >> you helped us build the biggest grassroots campaign for senate in california history, and i cannot thank you enough. my great gratitude to all of my wonderful supporters. i want to acknowledge the right of our protesters, and i look forward to working with you all. and onward to victory. in november, when i stepped on the field for the dodgers and the padres, i didn't play for democrats or republicans or independents. >> i played for all the fans. and tonight i'm running for all the people. when i say i will bring common sense and compassion to washington, i'm only thinking about you, the people. we the people will tell washington on what we want, and you'll use my voice. >> garvey. they're taking from his playing career in the 1970s. and 80s, a republican, hasn't won a senate race in california
5:30 am
since 1988. but because of the state's democratic stronghold, many expect shift to easily hold the senate seat in november. the seat is currently occupied by senator laphonza butler, but she's not running in this race. the two men now advance to the general election in november. i'm live in studio. amanda delcastillo, abc seven news. thanks amanda. >> now, a face off with garvey also means that adam schiff gets to avoid an expensive and potentially contentious intraparty fight this fall. abc seven insider phil matier gave some insight into this highly contested senate race, and adam schiff spent and his supporters spent close to $40 million to get schiff in the second into the second phase of this election and to make sure that steve garvey was the opponent basically, steve garvey had no money and wasn't known by a lot of the voters. >> and adam schiff turned him into the republican straw man to fight and elevated his presence among republicans. and one third
5:31 am
of california is basically leans republican. >> he gave him free advertising and they showed up. >> where it goes from here is going to be interesting. >> if schiff goes on to win in november, as expected, it will be the first time in more than three decades that california will be without a woman. senator schiff would also become the first white man from california to serve in the senate chamber since john seymour, which was in 1992. now to the only measure, the entire state voted on prop one. >> it authorizes more than $6 billion in general obligation bonds to build mental health facilities and cover substance addiction treatment. now, this has been a key push from governor newsom in his plan to fix homelessness in the state. and gloria, this proposition is extremely close right now. >> it is kumasi. it's pretty much a dead heat right now. so let's look at the numbers here right now. 50% voting yes in favor of prop one and 49% voting no. and you can see the vote difference here is just 34,000
5:32 am
votes. and this is with 49% of the precincts reporting so far. now if you look here at the map of the state, you can see that pretty much northern and central california with a lot of no votes. when you look along the coast, a lot of yes votes in favor of prop one. and when we look at different counties, it is pretty interesting to see how some of the different counties have voted on this. you look at san mateo county here, for example, 57% voting yes, 42% voting no. when you look at san francisco county, check this out. 71% voting yes in favor of prop one and 29% voting no. and then when we look here, for some of the other counties, for example, up north, lassen county, 24% voting yes, 75% no. so really interesting to see the results. we're going to keep tracking this for you because again, we don't have all the results in yet on prop one. but we'll be updating you throughout the morning. >> reggie that is interesting. the city is clearly wanted prop

5:34 am
counted, but there are over 1 million registered voters in santa clara county today. >> democrat lateefah simon will continue campaigning in richmond. she is the frontrunner in the race to fill congresswoman barbara lee seat in the 12th congressional district. simon is endorsed by lee, who handed simon a symbolic blue baton yesterday. she addressed policies she says she will fight for, including a livable wage, transportation and public safety. >> if you look back at my 30 years of work, i have been working to create public safety opportunities for young people leaving the criminal justice system to get them into jobs. i've been fighting for equal wages. i've been pushing for transportation equity in the bay area. those are my priorities. i am stepping into a seat that has almost 60 years of progressive priorities. i'm going to keep moving that agenda. >> simon has notable endorsements, including from governor gavin newsom and the california democratic party. as of this morning, her lead is almost double that of over
