Andre Quintero will be the next mayor of El Monte and Norma Macias will have a seat on the city council. The two candidates, who were heavily backed by city unions, dominated in the city's election.

The second city council seat up for grabs will go to incumbent councilman Juventino "J" Gomez who edged out Planning Commissioner Richard Garner by just 75 votes.

The other incumbent, Councilman Art Barrios, came in fourth, more than 200 votes behind.

Despite an early lead that had him in second place, Kien Lam came in fifth, followed by former city employee Angel Ralph Nunez.

In the mayoral race, Quintero won nearly 2,000 more votes than incumbent Mayor Ernie Gutierrez.
