Lateefah Simon wins bid for Rep. Barbara Lee’s House seat



Lateefah Simon will take over Rep. Barbara Lee’s District 12 seat in the House of Representatives, defeating competitor Jennifer Tran.

As of 5:19 p.m. Friday, Simon had received about 67% of the vote to Tran’s 36%, with about 38% of votes counted, the Associated Press reported.

“CA-12, I’m honored that you’ve elected me as your next Congresswoman,” Simon said on her social media platforms. “Like I’ve done throughout my entire career, I will fight for representation and equality for ALL of our East Bay communities. Next stop, Congress!”

The open congressional seat in District 12 opened up after Rep. Barbara Lee lost in her run for California senator and did not seek reelection. District 12 includes Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Oakland, Piedmont and San Leandro.

The question of whether or not to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price was also called Friday with 65% of voters backing the recall and 35% voting against, according to the Associated Press.

The Associated Press also called two California State Assembly races Friday.
