Mayoral hopeful may lose City Council seat
In his bid to become this city’s first Iranian American mayor, Vice Mayor Jimmy Delshad was in danger Wednesday of losing his City Council seat altogether.
After Tuesday’s balloting, he held only a seven-vote lead over third-place finisher Steve Webb, with 892 provisional and absentee ballots to be counted Friday.
Nancy Krasne received the most votes of the six candidates, with 2,486 votes.
The top two finishers in the race gain seats on the five-member council. The most senior member will be selected mayor at a March 20 meeting.
