Just 102 votes separated San Luis Obispo County District 2 Supervisor candidates Michael Erin Woody and Jim Dantona when the first round of election results were released on Tuesday night.
As of 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Woody was leading with 51% percent of the vote. He had 3,001 votes to Dantona's 2,899.
The seat has been held for years by current District 2 Supervisor Bruce Gibson. He announced last year that after nearly two decades in office, he would not seek re-election.
Democrat Jim Dantona currently works as chief of staff for Gibson.
Woody is a civil engineer and has had no political affiliation since 2019.
The second district covers coastal communities from Los Osos north to Ragged Point.
