Davis voters have elected Linda Deos (pictured) to the City Council, re-elected Lea Darrah to the Davis school board, and handily approved two tax measures to pay for city services and the Davis public library.
According to unofficial results available Wednesday morning on the Yolo County elections website:
• Deos won the council’s District 2 seat, the only contested council position this election, with about 52 percent of the vote. Victor Lagunes placed second with 27.3 percent, followed by Dillan Horton with 20.6 percent.
• Lea Darrah won re-election to the Area 2 seat on the Davis Joint Unified School District board, receiving 72 percent to Elizabeth (Lizzy) Griffith's 28 percent.
• Measure Q, to raise the City’s sales tax by 1 cent per dollar, passed 62.3 percent yes to 37.7 percent no.
• Measure T, to increase a library parcel tax, passed 72.2 to 28.8 percent.
Measures to increase the sales tax in Winters and West Sacramento also passed, but failed in Woodland. For complete returns and any updates, see the county elections website.
