The East Bay’s closest Nov. 5 election race ended in dramatic fashion this week.
Newark’s five-candidate contest for two council seats was so close that last month the county registrar called for a rare manual recount. Even then, the contest wasn’t over: the candidate up by four votes on Tuesday, lost by three votes on Thursday.
Grindall won early on with 7,490, but Arteaga and Del Catancio had exchanged leads for the second seat. In late November, Alameda County Registrar of Voters Tim DuPuis called for manually counting the ballots, which initially showed Arteaga up by four votes. Del Catancio received a law degree from the University of San Francisco School of Law and a master’s degree in administration from the University of Kansas. She is currently a Newark planning commissioner and educator in the Newark Unified School District.
She said that she wants residents to feel safe, and she wants people of all demographics to feel comfortable supporting the city’s communities and businesses.
