House Candidate Who Chased Trans Woman From Restroom Is Primary Loser

House Candidate Who Chased Trans Woman From Restroom Is Primary Loser

Congressional candidate Jazmina Saavedra may have thought accosting a trans woman at a Los Angeles restaurant would win her votes, but it didn't quite pan out — the Republican came in third place in Tuesday's primary election.

Incumbent Democrat Nanette Barragan crushed her competition for California's 44th Congressional district, winning over 26,000 votes, or nearly 66 percent of the vote. In second place was a fellow Democrat who actually dropped out of the race months ago — Compton, Calif., mayor Aja Brown.

Then in third place was Trump-devotee Saavedra, who received about 4,000 votes or 10 percent of the vote (in fourth was Clueless star Stacey Dash, who also dropped out of the race before Tuesday's election). Saavedra, a Nicaraguan immigrant, was running on an anti-immigration/anti-transgender/anti-abortion platform.
