But it is close, too close for me to say.
Central Valley Business:
Veteran Central Valley Congressman Jim Costa, a conservative Democrat,
was swept out of office Tuesday by Johnny Tacherra, a Republican, based
on the final, but unofficial, vote count.
Mr. Tacherra had 50.5 percent of the total votes in the district, which
is largely within Fresno County, edging Mr. Costa by 736 votes out of
69,678 cast in the election.
Mr. Costa has represented the district since 2004 and earlier worked as a member of the state Senate or Assembly for 24 years.
In his bid for another term, Mr. Costa was supported by the Western
United Dairymen, the Dairy Farmers of America and the California Dairies
Federal political action committee, while Mr. Tacherra, himself a dairy
farmer, did not see that financial support.
