San Ramon Vice Mayor Marisol Rubio extended her narrow lead over challenger Jeffrey Joh in the race for the District 4 City Council seat, according to the latest preliminary ballot count released Tuesday.
Rubio led Joh by 104 votes, up from 82 votes as of Friday. The contest has proven to be the closest of this year’s council races in the San Ramon Valley, where all other incumbents have maintained double-digit leads since election night.
Contra Costa election officials estimated that 7,500 ballots remained unprocessed countywide as of Tuesday, though it was unclear how many of those were from residents of District 4, which has 13,329 eligible voters. A total of 7,832 ballots had been cast in the race, according to the latest preliminary count. The next vote count update is set for Friday (Nov. 13). The county’s target to certify election results is Dec. 3.
