Santa Clara's election, the first since a civil grand jury report criticized the council's dysfunction, sees Park, Jain and Gonzalez leading, with 49ers backing.
The San Francisco 49ers poured over $2.3 million into the Santa Clara race, supporting candidates like Gonzalez and Park while distancing from indicted Vice Mayor Becker.
With major early leads, Councilmembers Park and Jain, as well as Trustee Gonzalez are positioning themselves as strong candidates amid a politically divided landscape.
Vice Mayor Becker's legal troubles have impacted his campaign negatively, trailing behind Cox significantly as the 49ers pivot away from their previous support for him.
