Gabby Chavez-Lopez leads in San Jose special election, likely to face Matthew Quevedo in runoff
The polls closed in the special election in San Jose’s District 3 Tuesday and it looks there will be a runoff in the race to replace disgraced former councilman Omar Torres.
Seven people were on the ballot for this special election and since no one garnered more than 50% of the vote, the top to vote getters go to a runoff in June.
Candidate Gabby Chavez Lopez was in first place 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.
