In early returns, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa clinging to a 30-point lead... His allies have big leads for city attorney and controller as well... close battle for Measure B.
Elsewhere, in Manhattan Beach it looks like Richard Montgomery is on his way to re-election, but there's a close three-way contest between incumbent Nick Tell and challengers Wayne Powell and Kathleen Paralusz for the remaining two council spots. Those three are separated by about 100 votes.
Just getting started in Gardena... nothing from PVE, nothing from Redondo...
Carson's now got one precinct out of 30, so let's see if this holds up for the rest of the night. In that one precinct, on the north edge of town, Mayor Jim Dear is beating Elito Santarina like a drum. Mike Gipson has a big lead in the council race, with incumbent Harold Williams clinging by his fingernails to a lead over Commissioner Wilma Wilson. And Measure C is winning.
