Preliminary Election Results Favor Local Candidates

In the recent municipal elections, David Jinkens and Keith Roberts are leading the race for two City Council seats in South Lake Tahoe, with Jinkens securing 26.41% and Roberts 19.11% of the votes. In Berkeley, Councilmember Sophie Hahn is ahead in the mayoral election with 52.72% against Adena Ishii, although many votes remain to be counted. Meanwhile, in Will County, Democrats appear to be winning contested county board races, with Herbert Brooks Jr. and Dawn Bullock among the leaders in their respective districts. In San Luis Obispo, incumbent Jan Marx and Cal Poly professor Michael Boswell are likely to fill the two open City Council seats, garnering 40% and 34% of the votes, respectively. Election officials emphasize that these are preliminary results and additional counting is still underway in many areas. The outcomes could shift as the remaining votes are tallied across these various races.
