Assemblyman David Hadley (R-Manhattan Beach) was in a car on his way home early Wednesday morning after an election night party in Redondo Beach. With 42% of precincts reporting, Hadley was lagging behind challenger Al Muratsuchi by a 53-47 margin. "I have vague memories of refreshing my browser at 2:30 and 3 o'clock in the morning in 2014," Hadley said. Democrats had hoped to turn Hadley's L.A. County coastal district blue as part of a strategy to regain a super-majority in the Assembly. Assembly Democrats had tried to tie Hadley to Donald Trump during the campaign, despite the fact that he had said he would not vote for the Republican nominee.
