Tenant rights attorney Ysabel Jurado Saturday added 230 votes to her lead over Assemblyman Miguel Santiago in the race for second place for Los Angeles’ 14th District City Council seat to move 251 votes ahead.
Jurado has 6,056 votes, 22.52%, to 5,805, 21.59% for Santiago, D-Los Angeles, according to figures released Saturday by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.
Councilman Kevin De León continues to lead with 6,641 votes, 24.69%.
Because no candidate in the field of eight will receive a majority, the top two candidates will meet in a runoff in November.
It was unclear how many ballots remain to be counted.
Jurado moved into second Friday with 5,214 votes, 21.51%, while Santiago had 5,193, 21.42%.
Jurado was in third with 18.92% in the count released Wednesday morning with Santiago in second with 20.27%, 250 votes ahead of Jurado.
Jurado trailed Santiago by 291 votes in the count released Wednesday afternoon and by 148 votes in the count released Thursday afternoon.
The 14th District encompasses Boyle Heights, Lincoln Heights, Downtown Los Angeles, El Sereno and Northeast Los Angeles.
