Since everyone is still asking, here are the results of the November 4 election…

Elections on Tuesday brought us more of the same at home, and a big difference in Sacramento. At home, incumbents Doug Chaffee and Greg Sebourn were both re-elected to the two open seats on the Fullerton City Council

Here are the numbers from the Orange County Registrar of Voters:

DOUG CHAFFEE 9,459 25.1%

GREG SEBOURN 7,623 20.2%

LARRY BENNETT 6,822 18.1%

JANE RANDS 4,781 12.7%

RICK ALVAREZ 4,174 11.1%

SEAN PADEN 3,832 10.2%

BILL CHAFFEE 986 2.6%

but keep in mind that at least some provisional and late ballots still have not been counted. Although they will add to the final tallies for candidates, they are unlikely to change the outcome of the contest. In the past two elections, late ballots did make the difference, with Doug Chaffee being overtaken by Pat Mckinley in 2010, and Travis Kiger being edged out by a mere 29 votes by Jan Flory 2012. In 2014, the 800 vote lead enjoyed by Greg Sebourn will be hard for challenger Larry Bennett to overcome.

Sharon Quirk-Silva, not re-elected.

Sharon Quirk-Silva, not re-elected.

One-tern incumbent California Assembly Member Sharon Quirk-Silva was soundly defeated by newcomer Young Kim in one of the most expensive Assembly races in California history. The changeover affects not only Orange County’s 65th District, but robs the Democrats of a supermajority in Sacramento just as a Democratic governor was easily re-elected.

All three incumbent members of the Fullerton Joint Union High School District running for re-election fended off the four challenging candidates on the ballot to keep their seats, some of which have been held for decades. Bob Hathaway, Bob Singer, and Marilyn Buchi will each serve another full term.
