This is a big win for someone who just eight months ago polled so low he was being pressured to drop out of the race, but stepped up after the leading democratic contender, Eric Swalwell dropped out of the race in April after sexual assault allegations.
He will be the first Latino to serve as governor in a century and a half, and the first to be elected to the seat.

"We have entered the Becerra era," said Becerra, in his victory declaration speech.
