Wahab wins special election to Swalwell's California district

Democrat Aisha Wahab has won the California 14th District special election to serve the remainder of Eric Swalwell's term, defeating Melissa Hernandez after a runoff as voters settled the closely watched race sparked by Swalwell's resignation amid sexual misconduct allegations.
