In very early returns it looks like ...
Chris Holden is well ahead of the pack in the 41st Assembly District with Donna Lowe a strong second and Victoria Rusnak third.
Democrat Judy Chu is way far ahead in the 27th Congressional District.
Democrat Carol Liu looks comfortably ahead in the 25th Senate District, but Gilbert V. Gonzales is making a very respectable showing.
Same in the 32nd Congressional District. Democrat Grace F. Napolitano is doing well but David L. Miller is also doing very respectably.
Again. It's still early.
Update: Although he will no longer be representing Monrovia when the winners take their seats in the Assembly, Tim Donnelly is doing very well in the 33rd Assembly District, well ahead of two other contenders. http://goo.gl/tfErv
Update: I'm going to bed. I don't see any cliffhangers, but we'll see in the morning.

Monrovia Police: Mixing the Wrong Chemicals, Thefts from Cars, Vandalizing City Mural
[Monrovia Police activities from the Police Department's Neighborhood Watch Report for May 31 - June 3. - Brad Haugaard]
Following are the weekend's highlighted issues and events.
Vandalism in Progress
On May 31 at 10:23 p.m., an officer responded to the report of vandalism in progress in the 1300 block of South Shamrock. The reporting party was on the southwest corner of Shamrock and Evergreen when he saw a male subject vandalize the city mural under the freeway overpass. The witness was able to get the license plate number of the suspect's vehicle and called police. An officer responded to the address where the vehicle is registered, but did not find the vehicle. The investigation is continuing.
Fire Assist
On June 1 at 9:44 a.m., fire and police personnel responded to a business in the 800 block of Royal Oaks regarding a possible Hazmat situation, resulting from the mixing of chemicals. Employees were evacuated and the Monrovia Fire Department checked the building. The area was contained by the Fire Department and Los Angeles County Hazmat was requested and responded to the incident.
Vehicle Burglary
On June 1 at 11:18 a.m., a vehicle burglary was reported in the 100 block of North Myrtle. The female victim had parked and locked her vehicle in her assigned parking stall in the rear of the complex on May 28. When she returned to her vehicle on May 30, she found the rear passenger-side window had been smashed and her green purse had been taken from the rear floorboard. Investigation continuing.
Vandalism - Suspects Arrested
On June 2 at 1:38 a.m., an officer was on patrol heading eastbound on Evergreen towards Myrtle when he saw a vehicle stopped by the freeway onramp. A subject exited the passenger side of the vehicle, tagged the wall, stepped back into the vehicle and the driver drove away. The officer conducted a traffic stop and arrested the two suspects for vandalism; one of the suspects was also charged with transporting a controlled substance and open container.
Vehicle Burglary
On June 2 at 8:27 a.m., the victim of a vehicle burglary came to the Monrovia Police Department lobby to file a report. An expensive pair of shoes were stolen from her vehicle. She parked and locked her vehicle in her assigned stall in the 200 block of South Primrose. When she returned to her vehicle the next day, she found the shoes had been stolen from the vehicle. Investigation continuing.
Theft from a Vehicle
On June 3 at 9:48 a.m., a vehicle theft was reported in the 200 block of El Nido. The victim parked his vehicle in the driveway, but could not remember if he locked the doors. When he returned to his vehicle about three hours later, his trunk was open. He did not think anything of it until later in the day when he noticed several items missing from inside the car. Investigation continuing.

Lunch at Shanghai Gourmet
Lunch at Shanghai Gourmet, new place in the shopping center near Fifth on Duarte Road. We passed on the pig stomach and sea cucumber and got sauteed beef with orange peel and the spicy chicken. Came with soup and tea. Chopsticks only. Really delicious! And lots. Had to take some home. My favorite was the beef but both were great. And cheap. $13.90 for both meals and a Coke.
