With half of registered voters in McMinnville accounted for, incumbent City Councilor Zack Geary leads George Humlie by 250 votes. Geary, aiming for a second term on the council, has 52.6% of the vote to Humlie’s 47.1%.

Remy Drabkin will remove the “interim” tag from her title of Mayor, running unopposed and earning 7,638 votes so far. City councilors Jessica Payne and Sal Peralta also ran unopposed and will earn a new term.

Lafayette

Wednesday’s update indicated Hilary Malcomson remains the front runner to replace Mayor Marie Sproul. Malcomson leads Doreen VanTyne 539-364.

The four-way race for three city council seats remains tight, with all four candidates within 150 votes of each other.  Michael Shaw leads the way with 582 votes, followed by Jo Johnson (491), Joseph Carswell (466) and Angela Flood trails the pack with 442 votes.
