| Description | Former state Sen. Liz Figueroa clinched second place in the Alameda County Board of Supervisors race early Wednesday, setting the stage for a fall runoff with political newcomer Nadia Lockyer.
Lockyer, who manages a county agency focused on domestic violence and is the wife of longtime politician and current state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, led with 38 percent of the total, 8,626 votes. Figueroa received 5,652 votes, 25 percent of the total.
If the primary campaign is any indicator, the race is sure to be a fierce battle - at least from Lockyer's side.
Lockyer raised $727,130 for the primary, including $544,258 from her influential husband's campaign fund. Others connected to the Democratic Party establishment contributed much of the rest. By contrast, Figueroa raised $49,852, according to the latest filings online. |
