San Jose's District 3 has been without a city councilmember for eight months following Omar Torres's resignation due to sex abuse charges. The district is set to elect a new representative, with candidates Gabby Chavez-Lopez and Anthony Tordillos vying for the position. Voter turnout for this special election is expected to be between 20-25%. Local resident Timothy Kenny emphasized the importance of voting, while candidates highlighted their commitment to addressing district issues like small businesses and homelessness.
"If you don't vote and you don't choose your representative, you have no right to complain," resident Timothy Kenny said.
"I've continued to be an upstanding leader in this community," Chavez-Lopez said. "I've been on the front lines of the issues that matter most to the district..."
Tordillos has the backing of major endorsements, including Mayor Matt Mahan. The 33-year-old planning commission chair is riding momentum of a late push in April's vote..."
