Mayor’s Race Still Headed Towards Runoff

It looks like Mayor Terry Tornek and District 5 Councilman Victor Gordo will meet again in November.

As of the last update by the County Registrar’s office yesterday just after 6 p.m., neither candidate has captured more than 50 percent of the vote.

Gordo has increased his lead and now has 46.21 percent of the vote (11,461) while Tornek trails with 41.63 percent (10,323 votes).

Newcomer Major Williams has 8.40 percent of the vote (2,084 votes) and Jason Hardin has 3.76 percent (932 votes).

But as the mayoral candidates gear up for the runoff election, the City Council races appear to be decided.

In District 2, Felicia Williams remains above 50 percent.

Williams now has 51.71 percent of the vote (1,798 votes). Tricia Keane trails far behind with just 26.17 percent. (910 votes). Bo Patatian and Kevin Litwin have just 13.40 percent (466 votes) and 8.71 percent (303 votes).

In District 4, Incumbent Gene Masuda remains far out front with 59.60 percent of the vote.

Neither Char Bland, Joe Baghdadlian nor Kevin Wheeler has managed to acquire 20 percent of the vote.

Bland trails Masuda (18.21 percent, 845 votes), Baghdadlian is in a distant third (15.84 percent, 735 votes) and Wheeler is last. (6.36 percent, 295 votes).

In District 6, longtime District 6 Councilman Steve Madison holds a 53.15 percent lead over Tamerlin Godley.

As of 6:05 p.m. the County Registrar’s office reported Madison with 2,523 votes.

Godley, who has amassed 38.91 percent (1,847 votes) has been unable to cut into Madison’s lead enough to bring him under 50 percent. Ryan Bell is in third place with 7.94 percent (377 votes).

Although the next update is scheduled at 4 p.m. today, so far every update has been late. Pasadena Now will update the vote count when it becomes available.
