Nov. 14, Orange County:  Dem Cisneros almost takes the lead in CA 39th.

Dem Katie Porter moved farther ahead of Rep Incumbent Mimi Walters in the CA 45th, including Irvine.  Dem Gil Cisneros of CA 39th is soo close to taking the lead.

R (I) Mimi Walters.   116,471.  49.2%

The difference is now a 3,797 or 1.6% vote lead for Porter.  Last night, Nov. 13, it was a slight 261 vote lead for Porter.  So this is a steady increase for Porter.  I have lived in Irvine since 1971, or 47 years, and this is the first time I will have a Democratic representative.
