Sal Medina and Corey Calaycay have been reelected to Claremont City Council’s District 5 and District 1 seats, respectively. Meanwhile, the race for CUSD Board of Education’s Trustee Area 5 remains too close to call.

All results are as of the most current update from the LA County Registrar’s Office at press time, 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 6:

Claremont City Council

District 1

Incumbent Corey Calaycay has defeated Rachel Forester, 2,029 (58%) to 1,452 (42%).

District 5

Incumbent Sal Medina has defeated Kingoro Onami, 1,602 (78%) to 463 (22%).

Claremont Unified School District Board of Education

Trustee Area 2

Incumbent Kathy Archer, who ran unopposed, has been reelected.

Trustee Area 5

Cheryl Fiello continues to hold a narrow lead over Mark Reynoso, 1,892 (52%) to 1,768 (48%).

Citrus Community College Board of Trustees

Trustee Area 2

Incumbent Laura Bollinger, who ran unopposed, has been reelected.

Los Angeles County Measures

Measure A

Approval of Measure A looks to be assured, 1,372,580 (56%) to 1,085,690 (44%). If passed, the measure would repeal Measure H, a ¼ cent sales tax measure to fund homeless services and prevention that was passed by voters in 2017, and impose a ½ cent sales tax in its place that would raise more than $1 billion annually.

Measure G

Measure G is still hotly contested, with 1,165,162 (50%) supporting and 1,149,591 (50%) against. If passed, it would create an elected county executive position, an independent ethics commission, and a nonpartisan legislative analyst. It would also expand the LA County Board of Supervisors from five to nine members and require county departments to present annual budgets at public meetings.

Measure E

Measure E, the Fire Protection Special Tax Measure, remains on track to pass, 490,282 (53%) to 427,193 (47%). If passed, Measure E would levy a 6-cent per square foot tax on certain parcel improvements, exempting low-income seniors. It is expected to raise $152 million annually.
