Julio Ramos calmly sat back in his election HQ late Tuesday night after hearing about the numbers. Ramos held 15% of the vote and was 240 votes behind Myrna Lim, the closest competition. The race for District 11 supervisor will now be decided through ranked-choice voting, based on voters’ second and third choices. John Avalos was leading with 29% to 24% for second place Ahsha Safai.
“Avalos ran a really good campaign,” said Ramos, who shares some of Avalos’s progressive politics.
With the theme of change constantly reiterrated this election, a push for change in the Excelsior has yet to take place. There are several capable candidates and Ramos remains hopeful.
