(Tuesday, June 2) - 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.
It remained very close when the second round of results was released just after 10 a.m. Woody was leading with 51% percent of the vote. He had 3,012 votes to Dantona's 2,910.
“I’m absolutely thrilled. I mean, you got to remember something — last year when we got involved in this race, we got told flat out it’s statistically impossible to be a factor in this race, to win this race or anything else, you’re going to lose this by 20 points,” Woody said.
“This is going to be a close race. We’re going to be here all night watching the ballots come in to be counted, but I really believe that from knocking on doors and talking to the voters that in the end our campaign is gonna win this,” Dantona said.
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.
Dantona is currently Gibson's chief of staff.
Woody is a civil engineer.
The second district covers coastal communities from Los Osos north to Ragged Point.
