Brad Sherman, 71, Advances to November Race Against Larry Thompson in California's 32nd District

Brad Sherman, a 15-term Democratic incumbent, and Republican film producer Larry Thompson won Tuesday’s nonpartisan primary and will face off in November for California’s 32nd House seat.
The result knocked out Jake Levine, 42, a former Biden administration official who had tried to frame the race as a generational challenge to Sherman, 71.
Sherman had campaigned on his long local presence and openly predicted Levine would miss the general election, arguing voter familiarity would outweigh calls for change.
Thompson, 81, is running as a centrist, but he enters the fall race as an underdog in a heavily Democratic district that includes Malibu, Pacific Palisades and Simi Valley.
