Earlier: Recently drawn redistricting maps place La Cañada in the 25th State Senate District, 28th Congressional District, and 43rd State Assembly District.
The top two vote-getters in the June 5 primary election will advance to the Nov. 6 general election regardless of party preference or whether one candidate receives a majority of votes in the primary. The election will mark the first major test of the state's "top two" primary system approved by California voters in 2010.
