Anthony Tordillos has claimed victory in the San Jose District 3 city council race, defeating his opponent Gabby Chavez-Lopez, who has conceded. With a lead of 2,374 votes and 64.3% of the votes counted, Tordillos signifies a shift in local politics as voters seek change in addressing issues like housing and public safety, distancing themselves from previous political dynamics. Tordillos, previously chair of the city's planning commission and a former Google employee, attributed his success to dedicated campaigning and a community yearning for progress. Chavez-Lopez congratulated him while ensuring her campaign values remained intact.
District 3 voters showed they won't settle for status quo San Jose politics. They're tired of the same old fights... they want a councilmember they can count on to deliver results on housing affordability, homelessness, and public safety.
Although Chavez-Lopez previously said she would wait until all votes were counted, she gracefully conceded Thursday, thanking all her supporters and volunteers and wishing Tordillos well.
