Congratulations to the winners

The residents of Cupertino have spoken.

The winners of the city council race are the 2 incumbents and Chang.

Here are the results:

Completed Precincts 33 of 33


PercentVotes
ORRIN MAHONEY
18.11%3,323
MARK SANTORO
16.06%2,946
BARRY CHANG
15.88%2,913
MARTY MILLER
14.90%2,733
DANIEL NGUYEN
12.56%2,304
MAHESH NIHALANI
12.11%2,222
DARCY PAUL
10.39%1,906

Mahoney did not pull his two friends with him with his reelection. Chang is very close to Santoro. As expected they got the Chinese votes. Although he was associated with Chang and Santoro, Miller could not overcome the incumbency of Mahoney.

The real surprise was Nguyen who came fifth on his own. He was the only one who campaigned hard, having written to the residents and walked the precinct. He knew what it was like to get elected. He will have a better chance next time. Time is in his favor.

Here are the other results.

Measure G was defeated because it required two thirds of the total votes. The problem had to do with the unexpired measure. So FUHSD will have to find a way to cut cost and keep the teachers employed.

Mr. Chang says that the Lehigh Cement must be shut down. Let's see if he delivers.

Yes let's see if he can really do it against the established business. The only solution is to compromise and work out a solution to make sure that the pollution is contained.

Anyway as you know politicians say anything they want. That's why they're all the same and usually don't know what to do to make Cupertino better.
