CA-SD37: Josh Newman (D) cuts into Steven Choi's (R) lead in 37th Senate district

Former Assemblymember Steven Choi is maintaining his lead in the only state Senate race on Orange County voters’ ballots this year — but Sen. Josh Newman has reduced that gap in recent days.

Choi, a Republican, led Newman by 6,947 votes, or 50.78%, in the 37th Senate district race, according to the latest vote tally posted by the Orange County registrar of voters Monday evening.

A week earlier, the vote tally showed Choi ahead of Newman by nearly 11,000 votes.

“As the daily counting results of mail ballots are reported, all Republican candidates and supporters are nervously watching closely,” said Choi on Monday. “My strong lead came down to about a half.”
