Ami Bera Maintains Lead Over Doug Ose In Latest Vote Count

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- Incumbent Ami Bera is maintaining his lead over challenger Doug Ose in the latest vote count on the District 7 race.

According to the Sacramento County Registrar's Office, Bera now has 89,477 votes (or 50.2%). Ose now has 88,780 (or 49.8%).

Bera took the lead over Ose in Wednesday's tally of the votes. The Democrat had been trailing since late on Election Day when the results were coming in, trailing by more than 2,000 votes as of last Friday. The race drew closer after Monday's count with Ose only leading by 530 votes.

The race has drawn nationwide attention and plenty of money from out-of-state donors to make it one of the most expensive seats up for grabs this election year.
