And on the lighter side of the news, the LA Unified School District is having runoff elections for two seats.

Primary election, District 4:

Steve Zimmer Incumbent 46.70% 45,088
Nick Melvoin 32.90% 31,771
Allison Holdorff Polhill 13.99% 13,510
Gregory Martayan 6.41% 6,189

After the primary, ā€œZimmer was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). In a statement, Sanders said, ā€œBillionaires should not make a profit off of public school children. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m supporting Steve Zimmer and Imelda Padilla for the Los Angeles School Board. They will fight against the Trump/DeVos agenda to destabilize and undermine public schools.ā€ It was the first time since 1989 that a U.S. senator endorsed a candidate in the school board race, according to LA School Report.ā€
