Anthony Tordillos Has Large Lead in San Jose Special Election
- Anthony Tordillos is leading the June 24 runoff to become the new representative for District 3 on the San Jose City Council, filling the seat vacated by Omar Torres following a special election.
- The election followed Torres's November resignation due to child sex abuse charges that led to his arrest and no contest plea.
- Tordillos, Planning Commission Chair, holds a broad coalition and strong fundraising advantage, while Chavez-Lopez, a nonprofit executive, faces heavy opposition spending.
- Tordillos had 64.8% of the vote with 4,449 ballots, while Chavez-Lopez trailed at 35.1% with 2,413 votes as of Tuesday evening 8:45 p.m.
- The runoff may shape City Council dynamics and tests voter appetite for new leadership amid ongoing challenges like homelessness and a looming budget shortfall.
