These are early, unofficial returns from NBC Bay Area's San Mateo County results page. Totals were cross-checked against ABC7's results page.
District 1
Wonman Lee: 74.45% (510)
James Rohr: 25.55% (175)
District 2
Vamsi Velagapudi: 50.31% (721)
Drew Combs: 49.69% (712)
District 4
Laura Melahn: 63.68% (968)
Charlotte Reed: 36.32% (552)
ABC7 marks Drew Combs as the incumbent.
All results are unofficial election-night and early-morning counts as of Wednesday, Nov. 4. Counties keep counting mail and provisional ballots for days, and certification comes later, so margins can shift, especially in close contests.
