Here are Temple City’s City Council election results, with only provisional ballots not yet counted. Ken Gillanders and Cathe Wilson were running for re-election.

Vincent Yu 1791
Tom Chavez 1395
Chuck Souder 1077
Ken Gillanders 687
Cathe Wilson 673
Silenus Ong 381

With
2 of 7 precincts reporting and mail-in ballots counted, Vincent Yu and Tom Chavez were
leading early in the race for two Temple City City Council seats.

Yu had received 785 votes; Chavez, 641; former Councilman Chuck Souder, 534; Councilman Ken Gillanders, 435; Mayor Cathe Wilson, 380; and redevelopment consultant Silenus Ong, 203.

Wilson and Gillanders
are running for re-election, but bribery allegations against Wilson and
frustration over the city’s economic development problems have provided an opening in the race for the four challengers.

In early election results Tuesday night, Vincent Yu and Tom Chavez were leading in the race for two Temple City City Council seats.

With only mail-in ballots counted, Yu had received 698 votes, and Chavez 501. Former Councilman Chuck Souder was in third with 458 votes. Councilman Ken Gillanders, Mayor Cathe Wilson and Silenus Ong trailed with 385, 327 and 188 votes, respectively.

Wilson and Gillanders are running for re-election, but bribery allegations against Wilson and frustration over the city’s economic development problems have tightened the race for the four challengers.

In early election results Tuesday night, Carol Liu was leading in the 21st state Senate District, while Assemblyman Bob Huff was ahead in the 29th District.

Liu, a Democrat and former Assemblywoman from La Caada Flintridge, was challenged by Republican Teddy Choi, a real estate agent from Pasadena, and Libertarian candidate Steve Myers, a computer programmer from Los Angeles, in her bid to succeed termed-out Sen. Jack Scott, D-Altadena.

With 84 percent of precincts reporting, Liu was leading with 67 percent of the vote. Choi was trailing with 25 percent.

From the Pasadena United Democratic Headquarters event at the Pasadena Hilton, Liu said she hadn’t so much doubted the outcome as she had worried about voter turnout.

“It is really wonderful. One of 40 (state senators) is a very small club, and we have a lot of work to do,” she said. “The state’s got budget problems, infrastructure problems — it’s got lots of issues that we need to work on.”

After serving in the La Caada Flintridge City Council from 1992-2000, Liu, a former school teacher, served two terms in the 44th Assembly District from 2000-2006.

Her platform emphasized a reassessment of the education system and structural reform of the state’s budget.

In the 29th District, returns showed Huff leading Democratic challenger Joseph Lyons, a medical researcher from Claremont, and Libertarian Jill Stone, a Temple City insurance agent.
The three were vying for the seat of former 29th District Sen. Bob Margett, R-Arcadia, who like Scott was also termed out.

With 76 percent of precincts reporting districtwide, Huff was ahead with 55 percent of the vote. Lyons was behind with 38 percent.

Huff has served two terms in the Assembly and was formerly a council member in Diamond Bar. He has consistently opposed tax-increase proposals, and he has also advocated restrictions on illegal immigration and government services to illegal immigrants.

Huff said he felt “relieved” by the results.

“There’s an old saying: You either run unopposed or you run scared. I’m of the school you run scared,” he said.

“We have the ability to incentivize businesses to invest in equipment, to hire workers — those are the things I’ll be working on as opposed to raising taxes,” he said.

In addition to its early statewide lead, Prop. 8 is leading in early returns in Los Angeles County.

The ballot measure, which would effectively ban same-sex marriage, leads statewide by a margin of 53 to 47 percent, with 33 percent of precincts reporting.

In L.A. County, the measure is leading by a slightly wider margin of 55 to 45 percent, with 23 percent of precincts reporting.

Measure J, a $3.5 billion bond for Los Angeles Community College District projects, is leading by a large margin in early returns.

The measure is leading with about 66 percent of the vote. 11 percent of precincts have reported.

The bond would fund construction of new
buildings, repairs of old ones, and technology upgrades in classrooms across the district’s nine campuses – including
East Los Angeles College, which is actually in Monterey Park. ELAC is projected to see at least $400 million of that money, the most of any campus.

The measure affects those who live within
the LACCD boundaries, which includes parts of Monterey Park,
Montebello, Alhambra, San Gabriel, Rosemead and Pico Rivera, among
other cities.
