Kashkari Will Face Brown in California

Neel Kashkari (R) eclipsed rival Tim Donnelly (R) in the governor’s race late Tuesday, while California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) “was poised to finish first by an enormous margin,” the Sacramento Bee reports.

“Kashkari, a moderate Republican, was ahead of the tea party-backed Donnelly 18% to 15% when Donnelly conceded the race and called Kashkari to congratulate him. Neither Republican came close to touching Brown, who led all challengers with 55% of the vote. He will face Kashkari in the fall.”
