n the 10th District California Assembly race’s competitive race, front runner Elk Grove City Councilmember Stephanie Nguyen slightly increased her margin of votes over fellow Democrat Sacramento City Councilmember Eric Guerra.

Even though they remain in a statistical dead heat, Nguyen grew her lead from last week’s tallies. Nguyen has a lead of 457 over Guerra compared to 391 on Friday.

With less than 1,000 uncounted votes county-wide, Nguyen will take first place, with Guerra not far behind in second. As the top two finishers, Nguyen and Guerra will face off in the November general election.
