AP calls California's 4th District for Eric Jones, ending Thompson's 27 years in the House with a 12,429-vote margin
The Associated Press called California's 4th Congressional District for Eric Jones on Friday, November 13. The AP tally for the district listed 130,246 votes for Jones, or 52.5 percent, and 117,817 votes, or 47.5 percent, for Rep. Mike Thompson, who has served in the House since 1999. The margin was 12,429 votes, with 475 of 500 precincts reporting and an estimated 95.17 percent of the vote counted. Both candidates are Democrats.
The result ran the other way inside Napa County. The county's sixth unofficial post-election report, posted on November 13, gave Thompson 28,750 votes in the county portion of the district, or 58.17 percent, to 20,677 votes, or 41.83 percent, for Jones, a county margin of 8,073 votes for Thompson. Counting in the county continues.
Napa County said its next unofficial update would be released on Monday, November 16, at approximately 5:30 p.m. County certification is due by December 3, and state certification follows on December 11. Until those steps are complete, all figures remain unofficial.
