The San Jose District 3 council seat race remains highly competitive, with Matthew Quevedo leading Anthony Tordillos by just two votes amidst unprocessed ballots. Gabby Chavez-Lopez has widened her lead as counting progresses, with final totals not expected until April 15. The significant spending for this election is notable, with leading candidates spending over double the amount seen in previous elections, raising concerns about the influence of special interest PACs in local politics.
Candidates for the District 3 San Jose City Council seat spent twice as much as candidates two years ago, with spending averaging $255 per vote for the leading candidate.
The slow churn of ballot counting between Quevedo and Tordillos, with just two votes separating them, evokes memories of the closely contested Primary Election for the 16th Congressional District.
