The election for the San Jose District 3 City Council seat has narrowed down to two candidates, Gabby Chavez-Lopez and Anthony Tordillos, following a scandal involving former member Omar Torres. As they head into the crucial runoff, both candidates are intensifying their campaigns to capture every vote. Tordillos, seen as a dark horse, emphasizes his commitment to representing the community without corporate and lobbyist influences. Local trust in government has been shaken, leading residents to insist on having a say in their representation. Mayor Mahan's endorsement of Tordillos further underscores the race's intensity and significance.
I feel like our message is resonating with residents and with voters, so we're feeling confident heading into next week, but not taking anything for granted.
The sex scandal that prompted Torres' resignation in November last year sowed a deep level of distrust in local government.
