Coastsider.com Reports Latest Fire Board Election Count Is Very Close, Recount Possible
In the latest vote count from San Mateo County Elections, union-supported HMB fire board candidate Gregg A. Hosfeldt now has more votes than incumbent Bert Silva. Silva led Hosfeldt for third place as of Wednesday. All four union-backed candidates for the Coastside fire boards (three in Half Moon Bay, one in Pt. Montara) are now the vote leaders. This would tip the balance on the newly elected and consolidated Coastside Fire Protection District from four Cal Fire supporters and four Cal Fire skeptics to five and three. The board is set to choose a ninth member.
The union candidates gained ground late Tuesday night as the county continued to count mail-in and absentee ballots. The latest count was published at 5pm Friday, Nov 9.
A recount is still likely. The Review reported that if the margin of victory in any contest is less than 0.5%. Hosfeldt, Silva, and Donovan are separated by only 0.3%.
