The April 11 event was organized by Brianna Egan, an MPH nutrition student at Loma Linda University who is working on a project to start a community garden in Redondo Beach; and Jerome Chang, an architect and business owner who recently ran for school board in Redondo Beach and is working to increase voter turnout and engagement for upcoming elections.
Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand and City Attorney Michael Webb have won reelection, Zein Obagi Jr. will be District 4âs new City Council member and Redondo Beach Unified has three new school board members after the second and final vote tally for Redondo Beach elections Friday, March 12.
Redondo Beach on Friday, March 12, released the second and final vote tally from its March 2 election. More than 9,000 votes came during the three days between election night and the deadline for mail-in-ballots marked by March 2 to arrive, said City Clerk Eleanor Manzano. Her staff processed 5,000 ballots on election night.
Ballots will be certified on Tuesday, March 16, Manzano said.

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.
