Stockton council incumbents lead after first tally as runoff questions remain unresolved

ELECTION NIGHT LEFT STOCKTON WITH EARLY LEADERS in all three City Council races, but not many final answers.

The first results from Tuesday’s statewide primary showed the city’s three incumbents ahead in Districts 1, 3 and 5. But with no additional results expected from the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters until Friday, the political picture remains incomplete, especially in races where candidates are below the 50% threshold needed to avoid a November runoff.
