Former GOP state lawmaker leads early returns in race for Devin Nunes' old House seat
CNN
Six candidates were vying to replace former Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, who resigned to work for former President Donald Trump's new media and technology group. But county officials were still tallying the ballots from the district that covers portions of Fresno and Tulare counties.
Conway is the best-known of the six contenders who are vying to replace Nunes, a close ally of former President Donald Trump who announced late last year that he was leaving Congress to head the Trump Media & Technology Group. Nunes resigned in January and vacated his seat in the California congressional district that covers much of Fresno and Tulare counties.
Conway represented many of the region's voters as a former Tulare County supervisor and former minority leader in the state Assembly. She had presented herself as a strong supporter of Trump who was best-suited to fill the remaining months of Nunes' term because of her relationships with lawmakers throughout California and in Washington.

Nationwide outcry over the killing of a Minneapolis woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent spilled into the streets of cities across the US on Saturday, with protesters demanding the removal of federal immigration authorities from their communities and justice for the slain Renee Good.

Since early December the US Coast Guard and other military branches have boarded and taken control of five oil ships that had previously been sanctioned, all either accused of being in the process of transporting Venezuelan oil or on their way to take on oil that has been subject to US sanctions since President Donald Trump began a pressure campaign against the leadership of the country during his first term.
