Voters in Fresno County are getting a new Assembly member, four months after Democrat Henry Perea resigned to take a job in the pharmaceutical industry.
Democrat Joaquin Arambula, an emergency room doctor, won 52% of the vote in Tuesday’s special election to fill the seat, according to unofficial results. The outcome allows Arambula to avoid a runoff against his Republican opponent, Fresno City Council member Clint Olivier.
