Heather Hutt, running for assembly in West L.A. | HeatherHuttCA.com 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.
