"Fligor led Kumar by nearly 53,000 votes - a nearly two-to-one margin - in unofficial returns reported in the last ballot totals on Election Night. "Thank you so much to everyone who voted and who helped with this campaign," Fligor said in a social media post to her supporters. "Your support means so much to me and my team. I look forward to being your next Santa Clara County Assessor!""
""We lost," said Kumar on social media shortly before Fligor's post. "The people of Santa Clara County have spoken, and I respect the outcome. I have conveyed my congratulations to Neysa on a solid victory. Fligor's initial margin proved insurmountable, likely exceeding the total number of votes that remain to be counted in the low-turnout race. The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters reported Fligor with 108,556 votes - 65.7% - and Kumar with 56,617 votes - 34.3%, at 9:22pm in the Dec. 30 runoff election."
Neysa Fligor declared victory in the Santa Clara County Assessor runoff after leading Rishi Kumar by nearly 53,000 votes. The registrar reported Fligor with 108,556 votes (65.7%) and Kumar with 56,617 votes (34.3%) in the Dec. 30 election. Rishi Kumar conceded and congratulated Fligor. The low-turnout race left few remaining ballots, making Fligor's lead insurmountable. Fligor will fill the seat vacated by Larry Stone, who announced retirement after more than 30 years and left before his term expired. Fligor is a native Jamaican, a Georgetown Law graduate, and serves on the Los Altos City Council as vice mayor.
