SAN BERNARDINO — Residents cast ballots Tuesday in four city races during the June 2 statewide primary, with the mayor's office and three City Council seats on the ballot.
Incumbent Mayor Helen Tran won outright, capturing 54.6 percent of the vote against five challengers — clearing the majority threshold needed to avoid a November runoff. Former Mayor John Valdivia, who sought a comeback after his 2022 defeat, finished last with 7.1 percent.
In the three City Council races, Virginia Marquez and Ron Alvarado advanced in Ward 1, Christian Shaughnessy and Benito Barrios advanced in Ward 2, and Fred Shorett and Joe Salas advanced in Ward 4 — the latter separated by less than a point heading to November.
Results are unofficial final with 100% of county precincts reporting.
