LOS ANGELES Six candidates are on the ballot for California’s 54th Assembly District in a special primary election that has already begun and ends on May 18.
Governor Gavin Newsom called this election to fill the seat, which was previously held by Sydney Kamlager, who was elected to the 30th Senate District on March 2, 2021. If one candidate receives a majority of all votes cast in the special primary election, they will be declared elected, and the special general election shall not be held. If no candidate receives a majority of votes in the primary election, the top two vote-getters will be placed on the special general election ballot.

California state worker union backs Newsom anti-recall effort in sign of labor s support
Sacramento Bee 2 hrs ago Wes Venteicher, The Sacramento Bee
May 3 A California state union s big donation to defend Gov. Gavin Newsom from recall likely heralds a coming show of support from organized labor, according to union representatives and experts.
The Professional Engineers in California Government, which represents about 11,000 state engineers, recently contributed $250,000 to the main campaign committee supporting Newsom.
Last week, the Secretary of State s Office announced the recall campaign had submitted enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot, a milestone that is expected to usher in more money from Democratic-leaning groups supporting the governor.
