Gabby Chavez-Lopez led Anthony Tordillos by 706 votes in the special election, but won just 30% of the overall vote.

The New York Times today put the mayor in the national spotlight for leading the city council in a plan to threaten homeless people who don’t accept offers of shelter, saying it’s  the latest sign of frustrations over tent encampments in California.

The suspects, from San Jose, Sunnyvale, Fremont and Oakland, used social media applications earlier this month believing they were communicating with a juvenile under 14 years of age, according to police.

Here are the District 3 leaders after the last Election Day vote count:
Gabby Chavez-Lopez 2,087
Matthew Quevedo  1,592
Anthony Tordillos 1,433
Irene Smith 1,186

Starting Saturday, March 29, two Vote Centers will be open daily from 9am to 5pm through April 7 at the Joyce Ellington Branch Library Community Room and the Olinder Community Center Community Room.

This strike is no longer about fair wages or working conditions. It’s about pay demands that would force route cuts, fare increases and layoffs.

During a high-speed chase on crowded streets in 2022 north of Morgan Hill and in San Jose, the former UFC champion fired a handgun multiple times at a truck carrying three people, including a man accused of molesting Velasquez’s relative.  

That means the strike that has suspended bus and light train rides for 100,000 commuters since March 10 will continue.

Those who miss the deadline can still participate in the San Jose City Council District 3 election, but they must register in-person and vote on the same day at the Registrar of Voters’ Office, 1555 Berger Drive, Building 2, or at any vote center starting March 29.

The Valley Transportation Authority is hopeful its offer of more pay and improved benefits will end the regional transit strike.

Last year’s initial budget projection featured an estimated $53 million shortfall. The new budget projection unveiled by Maguire this week showed a projected $46 million shortfall, the equivalent of about 3% of the city’s $1.6 billion spending plan.

San Jose detectives had identified Juan Ramirez as the man who fatally stabbed the woman, who died at a local hospital after the attack in the afternoon of March 22, 2013, in the 900 block of North First Street.

Representatives from both sides met Monday, but neither side budged from bargaining positions for a new three-year contract that remained far apart, with no new conversations scheduled.

During the attack, the adult female victim attempted to intervene to protect her child and was assaulted as well.

In addition to the 13-year-old murder suspect, police also arrested three 16-year-olds and Emanuel Sanchez-Damian,18, of Campbell, and charged each of them with felony assault of 15-year-old David Gutierrez.
