With one of 28 precincts reporting, Dan Medina is pulling ahead in the race for a Gardena City Council seat with 36.8 percent of the vote.
Opponents Shannon Lawrence has 30 percent; Mina Semenza, 17.7; and Tasha Cerda, 15.7 percent.
The winner replaces former Councilman Oscar Medrano, who is currently serving an 8-year prison sentence for child molestation.
Medrano, who pleaded guilty in June, stepped down from the council in March, then citing health problems.
