He had a 593-vote lead on Assemblyman Adam Gray, D-Merced, in California's 13th Congressional District Wednesday.Still, it could be a while before a victor is announced.The 13th, formed through the once-a-decade redrawing of legislative boundaries called redistricting, takes all of Merced County in a stretch from Lathrop past Coalinga.
