If preliminary results hold, only the board of the Redondo Beach Unified School District will change as a result of this week’s citywide election. Less than half of ballots cast were counted before unofficial numbers were announced, at 11:11 p.m. on Tuesday. According to those numbers, incumbents are ahead in the races for mayor and city attorney, as well as council members in Districts 1, 2, and 4. None of the three school board members whose terms expired ran for reelection because they were termed out.
“Other than for District 4, it’s been a blowout for the incumbents,” said Mayor Bill Brand, who captured 68 percent of the preliminary vote in his reelection bid. Council District 1 incumbent Nils Nehrenheim, who received a majority of his district’s votes according to Tuesday’s count, expressed a more measured view.
