With around 75% of Shasta’s votes counted, Gallagher holds strong lead for District 5
Many results remain relatively unchanged after the latest election results were released this afternoon. There are still about a quarter of Shasta County’s estimated ballots left to count.
Shasta County released new vote totals today showing the county has tabulated more than 48,000 votes. That means there’s about a quarter of ballots left to count, according to estimated numbers reported to the state by the elections office yesterday combined with ballots counted since.
Since election night, Mike Gallagher has widened his lead over incumbent Chris Kelstrom, with about 1,500 votes now separating the two.
Russ Wenham and Tenessa Audette continue to hold strong leads for the three open seats on the Redding City Council. Mark Mezzano also continues to hold a lead over Christina Prosperi, with about 700 votes still separating the two.
In the City of Shasta Lake, Justin Jones and Pamelyn Morgan continue to maintain their strong leads for the two positions open on the council this fall. And in Anderson, Stan Neutze still holds his lead with Lexus Alexander in second, although she only has a lead of less than 200 votes over Amarjit Singh.
For the Shasta County Office of Education Board, two seats will be filled in Area 2. Bruce Ross and Michele Tyson maintain their leads, with Nancy Walker dropping to about 300 votes behind. In Area 2 where two more seats will be filled, incumbents Arthur Gorman and Teresa Roberts are still ahead.
Measures E and F continue to succeed, while Measure C is still failing.
