It’s been a week since Election Day. How will the results influence Coachella politics?
COACHELLA, Calif. (KESQ) – The City of Coachella is hosting a special meeting tonight at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. It marks the first meeting held in the city since Election Day one week ago.
Election results have not yet been made official, but early indications showed some big implications for who will lead the city in just a few weeks’ time.
As of the latest election results released by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters on Monday, Denise Delgado held a 3-point lead over current Mayor Frank Figueroa. If these results hold, Delgado, who already has a seat on the council, would take over as mayor. Figueroa has not yet conceded the race.
Vicente Zamora, Yavonne Zapata, and Juan Martinez make up the top three candidates to fill City Council seats. Martinez was appointed earlier this year and is trying to retain his seat, while Zamora and Zapata are working to join the Council for the first time.
