Coin toss to decide tied Pasadena City Council race after runoff ends in deadlock
A coin toss will determine who will win a seat on the Pasadena City Council. The June 7 runoff election for the District B seat on the City Council ended with both incumbent Bianca Valerio and her challenger, Bruce Leamon, receiving 272 votes. “Please remember how important local elections are,” District C council member Emmanuel Guerrero said at Tuesday's council meeting. “A good example is currently in District B. There is a tie — very interesting circumstances. The same amount of voters came out and voted. One of y’all here could’ve made the difference.”
According to the Secretary of State's website, "if two or more candidates for the same office tie for the number of votes required to be elected, a second election to fill the office shall be held." The state's election code also states that the "tying candidates may agree to cast lots to resolve the tie." Additionally, a "written statement of withdrawal signed and acknowledged by the candidate," ends the tie. A statement from the city confirmed a coin flip at 11 a.m. at City Hall will decide the election on June 30. Valerio made history in 2021 as the first Hispanic woman elected to the City of Pasadena’s council. In 2023, residents re-elected her for a second term to serve District B. While Valerio’s future on the council remains unknown, Mayor Jeff Wagner, Councilmen Ornaldo Ybarra and Ruben Villarreal’s time has come to an end. Election results from the Harris County Clerk’s Office show Carlos Heredia Sr. received nearly 52% of the vote, while Villarreal only had 48% — 220 votes and 204 votes, respectively. For District G, Johnny Fusilier Jr. came out on top with 62% compared with his challenger, Amy Hinojosa, who had 38% — 603 votes and 376 votes, respectively.
