Alameda County races

Alameda County Board Supervisor, District 3
Former Alameda Vice Mayor Lena Tam leads her opponent Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan. Tam has 17,281 (54.95%) total votes, while Kaplan currently sits at 14,167 (45.05%) total votes. Tam leads in every City of Alameda precinct. In the final June 7 Primary Election results, Kaplan won with 41% of the votes. However, because none of the four candidates (Kaplan, Tam, David Kakishiba or Surlene G. Grant) received 50% of the vote, a runoff in the General Election was triggered.

District Attorney
Terry Wiley leads in the District Attorney race with 93,420 (51.52%) votes. Pamela Price has 87,894 (48.48%) total votes. Price accumulated the most votes in the Primary Election with 117,280 (43.23%) votes, while Wiley finished with 73,595 (27.13%) votes.
