About this race

August 18 result: Maritza A. Vazquez (34 percent) and Jason Voelz (33.6 percent) advance to a November 3 runoff, eliminating incumbent Mayor Santiago Avila Jr. (32.3 percent), per the Supervisor of Elections' unofficial results. Vazquez remains on the ballot despite the city clerk's non-qualification finding unless a court rules otherwise.

What this office does

Mayor. The mayor is the city's chief elected official. In a strong-mayor city the mayor runs the city government, prepares the budget and appoints department heads; in a council-manager city the mayor presides over the council and a hired manager runs operations. Which model applies depends on the city charter.

This race. Nonpartisan: candidates appear without party labels.
