The polls closed Tuesday in the special election in San Jose’s District 3, and it appears there will be a runoff in the race to replace disgraced former councilman Omar Torres. Seven people were on the ballot for the special election, and since no one garnered more than 50% of the vote, the top two vote getters go to a runoff in June.
Candidate Gabby Chavez Lopez was leading Tuesday night, followed by Matthew Quevedo, an aide to San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan. They were celebrating at the Chavez Lopez election party. The executive director of the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley found herself one step closer to City Hall.
