Voters in California’s 10th District on Tuesday passed over astronaut Jose Hernandez, choosing to reelect incumbent Jeff Denham, an almond farmer and Air Force veteran, instead. With all precincts reporting, Hernandez received 46.2 percent of the votes. Had Hernandez won, he would’ve been the sixth member of Congress to have flown in space. Bill Nelson, who like Hernandez flew on the space shuttle, won his bid Tuesday for reelection to the Senate representing Florida.
