Haubert Takes Lead In Supervisor Race: Primary Election Results

EAST BAY, CA — Alameda County primary election voters in Board of Supervisors District 1 had the option of voting on one of four candidates to fill the open seat vacated by Supervisor Scott Haggerty.

Dublin Mayor David Haubert eked out a win with 27 percent of the vote (7,190 votes) and Fremont City Councilmember Vinne Bacon came in a close second with 26.1 percent of the vote (6,957).

The two will head into a runoff later this year.

Dublin City Councilmember Melissa Hernandez garnered support from 24.7 percent of voters and District 10 State Senator Bob Wieckowski received 22.3 percent of the vote.

The district includes Dublin, Livermore, most of Fremont, most of unincorporated Livermore-Amador Valley and part of Sunol.

District 1 Supervisor Haggerty announced earlier this year he will not seek re-election when his current term expires in January 2021 to spend more time with family. The long-time supervisor has held the post since November 1996 and is serving his sixth (and final) four-year term.

District 4 Supervisor Nate Miley and District 5 Supervisor Keith Carson both notched easy victories, finishing well over the 50 percent required to avoid a runoff.

Miley, who has represented Pleasanton, Castro Valley and part of Oakland for 20 years, had 67.2 percent of the vote compared to only 32.8 percent for environmental community organizer Esther Goolsby.

Carson, who has represented North Oakland, Piedmont, Emeryville, Berkeley and Albany for 28 years, had 79.67 percent and Albany Mayor Nick Pilch only garnered 20.33 percent.
