Unofficial final results for Orange County elections on Nov. 3 are showing the emergence of new faces and new trends.

Another GOP win came in the 72nd Assembly District race, where former state senator Janet Nguyen will go back to Sacramento after besting Garden Grove city councilwoman Diedre Thu-Ha Nguyen 101,875 (53.64 percent) to 88,051 (46.36 percent).
