"Santa Clara County's Assistant Assessor Neysa Fligor led former Saratoga Councilmember Rishi Kumar by more than 50,000 votes in the election for county assessor, in early returns announced at 8pm tonight. The 52,000-vote margin could prove insurmountable, likely exceeding the total number of votes that remain to be counted in a low-turnout race. The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters reported Fligor with 106,685 votes - 66.2% - and Kumar with 54,530 votes - 33.8%."
"Fligor will fill the seat vacated by the June announcement by Assessor Larry Stone that he would retire after more than 30 years and leave before his term expired. Fligor is a native Jamaican who earned a law degree from Georgetown University who had stressed her expertise and experience in the assessor's office. She is a member of the Los Altos City Council and serves as the city's vice mayor."
