Overview

  • Campaign finance filings show Tordillos has raised $360,734 compared with Chavez-Lopez’s $261,028 from June 8 through 23.
  • He has self-funded $210,000 of his campaign committee’s funds, including a $20,000 loan.
  • Tordillos is backed by Mayor Matt Mahan and PACs such as the Bay Area Municipal Elections Committee and San Jose Police Officers Association, along with a new labor-sponsored group that has spent over $39,000 in his favor.
  • Chavez-Lopez earned 29 percent in the April primary and is supported by the South Bay Labor Council, which has invested more than $500,000 in her candidacy, but she has drawn criticism over corporate ties to PG&E.
  • Polls close at 8 PM tonight and the victor will fill the seat left by Omar Torres, shaping the district’s approach to homelessness, housing affordability and public safety.
