Pan, a physician and former state senator, faced off against Rep. Kevin Kiley. Kiley had initially been elected as a Republican but later abandoned his party allegiance following California's voters approving new congressional boundaries that leaned Democratic. The Associated Press officially declared Pan the winner at 2:00 a.m. EST.",
