Tordillos (D) declares victory, Chavez-Lopez (D) concedes in San Jose City Council District 3 race
Anthony Tordillos has declared an upset victory and Gabby Chavez-Lopez has conceded in the special election runoff for the vacant San Jose City Council District 3 seat, their campaigns announced Thursday.
Tordillos, the city's Planning Commission chair, held 65% of the vote as of Wednesday evening over runoff opponent Chavez-Lopez in the race for the seat vacated by disgraced councilman Omar Torres.
Ballots still were being counted, and no official result had been declared by the Registrar of Voters as of Thursday morning.
San Jose's District 3 represents much of the downtown area.
