Not much surprise in the 2nd City Council district: Assemblyman Paul Krekorian (34%) will face Christine Essel (28%) in the December runoff. Only 14,525 people voted, a bit more than half of them by mail. The so-called community candidates? Couldn't break three figures. From the City Clerk's page:

TAMAR GALATZAN 1,871 12.94%
JOZEF "JOE" THOMAS ESSAVI 306 2.12%
CHRISTINE ESSEL 4,104 28.39%
MICHAEL MC CUE 339 2.35%
PETE SANCHEZ 699 4.84%
DAVID "ZUMA DOGG" SALTSBURG 410 2.84%
FRANK SHEFTEL 441 3.05%
PAUL KREKORIAN 4,929 34.10%
MARY BENSON 1,198 8.29%
AUGUSTO BISANI 158 1.09%
