Results show incumbent race too close to call
Preliminary results from Tuesday’s election show Lemon Grove City Councilmember Alysson Snow defeating Mayor Racquel Vasquez and incumbent Councilmember George Gastil trailing in a tight race to save his seat.
Lemon Grove does not have district elections, and seats held by LeBaron and Gastil were open this year. Gastil and three challengers ran for the two seats. Challenger Seth Andrew Smith had about 21% of the vote and trailed Gastil by 435 votes. The Registrar of Voters said more results would be announced Thursday and later this week.
Snow also worked with coalitions and advocated for new laws to protect consumers, which she said inspired her to run for office.If her lead stands and Snow is elected mayor, her vacant seat on the City Council will be filled by an appointment or a special election. Heredia has been known over the past three years for recording Lemon Grove City Council meetings and posting the videos on line, and she said voters showed their appreciation for her work in the election.
