This November, California voters will decide who will serve in the state’s top offices, including Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, among others.
California State Senator Alex Padilla is the current front-runner for the Secretary of State race, coming in first place among a crowded field in the June primary, filled primarily with Democrats. He too is a Democrat who currently represents the state's 20th Senate District, which includes much of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County.
