Close races remain a week after California primary

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The race for state controller, in which two Democrats are vying for second place, remained up in the air on Tuesday along with several other contests, a week after California’s statewide primary.

Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin, a Republican, sealed the top spot in the controller’s contest but does not yet know who she will face in November. Former Assembly Speaker John Perez had only a few hundred votes over Board of Equalization member Betty Yee.
