Monica Martinez has a substantial lead over Christopher Bradford for the Santa Cruz County District 5 Supervisor seat, according to preliminary results.
Martinez has gotten 57.89% of the vote to Bradford’s 41.89% out of 19,318 votes cast so far.
“I’m feeling really positive, I’m so grateful for everybody who came out to vote, and it feels good to be the early front runner, but it’s also very important to make sure that every vote is counted. So we’re just anxiously awaiting the next drop of ballots,” Martinez said in a phone call Tuesday night.
