We have been expecting a 5 00 update from the registrar of voters. I have been checking on the tablet to make sure we have the latest numbers. No change, still that 2 difference with lacardo ahead. Election officials point out no race is over until every ballot is counted. Sam lacardo has decided he has been duly elected the 65th mayor of san jose, even as only 2100 votes separate him from his opponent, the county supervisor. I recognize the registrar needs to do their job. I will let them do their job but i think its really important for us to put these ballots behind us and get to work on the business of the city. Reporter his opponent was nowhere to be seen today, electing to issue a statement over doing an oncamera interview, which read quote, although i congratulated him this morning on running a great campaign, this race is still too close to call. The staff has an estimated 120,000 mailin ballots to count that were left at polling places plus 10,000 provisional ballots that need verification of voter eligibility. We never consider any race over until we have counted every last ballot and definitely when youve got a contest like this with a close margin, a lot of people are going to be watching the results as we continue to process the vote by mailin provisional ballots. Reporter the process is expect ted to run into the weekend. Lacardo says he will work to rebuild the police department. We know we need to rebuild this department. We are going to do it by working together. Reporter to that end, he and the Police Union President have been playing telephone tag. Politics is rough and tumble and then the next day, you come out, youre adults and you got to govern and got to police the city. We will go forward, obviously with whoever ends up being declared the winner. Reporter voters hope the end of election campaigns will usher in a new era of cooperation. I pray there are better times ahead, because we all have to really get along. Times are not going to get any easier if they dont. Reporter david louie, abc 7 news. It appears libby schaff will be oaklands next mayor. Returns show her way ahead of Rebecca Kaplan 63 to 37 but because there are still 20,000 to 30,000 absentee and provisional ballots to be counted and oakland uses ranked choice voting, the winner may not be declared until thursday. Still, there was a victory celebration on the lakeshore today shortly after the current mayor conceded. She says shes ready to get to work. The very First Priority is safety. As you all know, i bring a very holistic view about safety. Yes, absolutely we need more police but we also need better policing.

The city of berkeley has done what no other city ever has anywhere in the country, pass a tax on soda. Voters approved measure d with a whopping 75 of the vote. This could be the beginning of a big battle in the city. The latest now from abc 7 News Reporter lyanne melendez. Reporter big soda is downplaying berkeleys victory over the soda industry. So much so that its unlikely they will fight it out in court. We always look at all options but i dont think we are going to do that. The voters in berkeley have spoken. Reporter berkeley officials are sure they will. I dont think its a concern. I think its just a reality. They are going to do it. They feel i think they feel if they can stop it here either at the ballot box which they couldnt or in the courts, that that will be a victory that will shut other people down. Reporter the no on d Campaign People went on to say soda tax activists have been venue shopping for more than five years. Berkeley was lowhanging fruit and doesnt look like mainstream america. Former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg contributed 370,000 towards the yes on d campaign and today announced he would support other communities who are thinking of fighting big soda. We are hoping part of the message is that resources will be available to communities that want to take this battle on. Reporter at least 30 other cities and states have failed to pass measures to tax sugary drinks. The soda industry spent more than 2 million on the no on d campaign in berkeley and more than 9 million in defeating San Franciscos measure e. The industry believes other cities will not take berkeleys lead. As to what you saw last night with the outcome of the national election, it doesnt seem like the voters all across the country have an appetite for more regulation and taxation. Reporter the berkeley soda tax could benefit other nearby cities. For example, all i have to do is walk or drive to albany, where i wouldnt have to pay an additional 68 cents for this two liter bottle of soda. In berkeley, lyanne melendez, abc 7 news.
