said there are 24 races in November having members of the sameparty. "Sixteen of those are between Democrats," Hoffenblum said. "It'shard to say if top-two had a major impact because there was such alow overall voter turnout. It might be different in 2014 when wehave a governor's race and more voter interest." Darry Sragow, co-founder of No Labels, the group behind the top-twomeasure, said it was a qualified success.
"It clearly has changed things a little where we will haveunconventional races in the fall," Sragow said. "We will have twoDemocrats facing each other and two Republicans and, in at leastone race, a decline to state candidate. "Voters are looking to elect people to get things done," Sragowsaid. However, he added, it will take more time to see how effective thetop-two system works out.
Alarcón said the light voter turnout - it was 13.8 percentwithin his district - may have affected the outcome. Bocanegra came in first with 9,201 votes for 36.48 percent, toAlarcón's 6,818 votes for 27.03 percent. Republican candidates Ricardo Benitez, received 3,928 votes for15.57 percent; Omar Cuevas received 2,049 votes for 8.12 percentand Margie Carranza received 1,334 votes for 5.29 percent. GreenParty candidate John Lindblad received 1,895 votes for 7.51percent. In another closely watched race, Democrat Edward Headington came infirst in the 38th Assembly District and will face off in Novemberagainst Republican Scott Wilk, an aide to Rep.
Buck McKeon, R-SantaClarita. "None of us knew the formula needed going in to the race,"Headington said of the new two-top system. "I think what helped isthat we had more of an opportunity to appeal to the entireelectorate and, perhaps, were able to get to folks who are more inthe middle." Wilk, who defeated McKeon's wife, Patricia, to reach the runoff,said he remains confident the district will remain Republican afterNovember. "We felt a surge in the final 10 days," Wilk said.
"We have beenworking hard for the past 10 months and, on election day, we hadpeople making calls to get our vote out." Headington received 11,303 votes for 32.03 percent; Wilk captured10,723 votes for 30.39 percent; McKeon received 8,371 votes for23.72 percent and Republican Paul Strickland received 4,888 votesfor 13.85 percent. Another race with wide interest is the new 46th Assembly District,where Democrat Adrin Nazarian will face another Democrat, educatorBrian Johnson, in the November general election. Nazarian, an aide to Councilman Paul Krekorian, received 9,082votes for 27.48 percent over Johnson, who received 6,691 votes for20.29 percent. Johnson edged out Republican Jay Stern, who had6,605 votes for 20.04 percent and Democrats Andrew Lachman, with6,459 votes for 19.28 percent and Laurette Healey with 3,481 votesfor 10.55 percent.
For two other state Assembly races, the June 5 primary served as akickoff for a continued campaign in November. Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield in the 45th Assembly District in thecentral Valley will face Republican Chris Kolski and AssemblymanMike Gatto in the 43rd Assembly District in the East Valley willface Glendale school board member Greg Krikorian. rick.orlov@dailynews.com 213-978-0390 twitter.com/rickorlov.
