Alhambra
Nan “Noya” Wang has prevailed in the city council race for the 4th district, earning 43.44% of the vote, with second place going to Katie Chan, who earned 28.21% of the vote as of this writing. Jeff Maloney was elected to the 3rd district seat, as he was running unopposed.
Monterey Park
In the city council race for district 2 Elizabeth Yang is prevailing. Jose Sanchez and Henry Lo are running unopposed in their district 3 and 4 elections. Voters also widely approved Measures BE, which is an administrative change to policies, and LG, which is a tax to fund general services.
Pasadena
All of the measures placed on the ballot by the city of Pasadena were successful by wide margins, including the measure to fund the renovation of the main library.
San Gabriel
In their city council election, Tony Ding has a wide lead, earning 35.79% of the vote while the candidate in second place, Jorge Herrera Avila, has 25.75% of the vote. Both of the top two finishers will join the city council.
San Marino
Hunter Chan and John Chou were the top two vote getters and have likely earned election to the city council, earning 32.96% and 26.97% of the vote, respectively. In addition, 76.44% of voters approved the continuation of the Special Public Safety Tax to fund first responder services.
Sierra Madre
Kelly Kriegs and Robert Parkhurst were the only two candidates running and were therefore elected to fill two seats on the council. In addition, voters in Sierra Madre rejected the public safety tax measure to fund first responder services, with 55% voting no.
South Pasadena
In the city council races for districts 1, 2 and 3, Omari Ferguson, Sheila Rossi and Jon Primuth are prevailing, respectively, with the latter running unopposed. Ferguson has a wide lead, while Rossi has a lead of 130 votes as of this writing. In addition, voters widely approved Measure SP regarding retaining local control over neighborhoods and protect single-family homes.
Since all the local measures in Pasadena passed, that means the citizens of Pasadena are fine with paying to fix the library. Something the City of Pasadena should have taken care of themselves decades ago but it wasn’t a priority obviously.
