District 3 Candidate Brandon Lamar remains upbeat as ballot counting continues countywide for the 2024 Primary election.
By News Desk
Lamar and his opponent, incumbent Justin Jones, are vying to be elected in the special election to fill the term vacant by the passing of Councilmember John J. Kennedy.
Lamar said:
My team and I have worked very hard to maintain an effective and positive campaign. With the help of so many volunteers, we were able to speak to and reach thousands of neighbors throughout District 3. Even though I am not pleased with the first round of numbers, we remain optimistic as we await the final results. I reiterate that District 3 is the most diverse district in the city of Pasadena. However, we also have the most complex needs within the city and our collective voting record shows that. We have the lowest voting turnout in the entire city. Even when compared to uncontested races, we still fall below. We must find innovative ways to engage residents to build their trust in local government.
No matter the outcome of this race, I remain committed to seeing the District and the City I love, thrive. As you can probably tell by my history, I WILL NOT GIVE UP. We cannot give up.”
After Election Day, many outstanding ballots will still be processed and counted. Additional results from the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office will be released every weekday, Monday thru Friday, thru March 22… with the final report on Tuesday, March 26.
