Eunisses and Hugo widen their leads! |
|
The latest drop of vote counts from the county show that DSA-LA-endorsed candidate Eunisses Hernandez has widened her lead over incumbent Gil Cedillo in City Council District 1, with 16,031 votes (54.03%) to Cedillo's 13,642 (45.97%). If these results hold, there will be no runoff — Eunisses will be the next city council member for CD1. DSA-LA-endorsed candidate Hugo Soto-Martínez has continued to widen his lead over incumbent Mitch O'Farrell in Council District 13, with 19,122 votes (40.64%) to O'Farrell's 14,895 (31.65%). Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, also endorsed by DSA-LA and running for State Assembly District 65, will be headed to the November runoff against incumbent Mike Gipson and continues to increase her vote count. |
