Fox 11's Christopher Harto in Fontana with that story. Yeah, this election is being watched closely and so is every election update. The incumbent mayor has served four terms, but as of 6 PM Monday night, her rivals lead only widened. 1,356 votes. I'm so excited. Joslyn, or Josita, reacting to the latest batch of ballots that has widened her lead in the Fontana's mayor's race. Monday morning, she was up by only 14 votes. And now the Democratic Socialist, who was endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders, says the momentum is on her side. When the polls closed, I knew that I left it all in the field and that I did everything that I could without taking corporate money, with being outspent 90 to 1. Thank you. Knowing that I poured my heart, energy and soul with my community. If the numbers hold, Ceda will oust incumbent Aquanetta Warren, who has held the seat for 16 years and is a Republican, although the office is a nonpartisan position. Hi Fontana, I'm Mayor Aquanetta Warren and this is Mayor Monday. On a Facebook post, the mayor didn't mention the election and she didn't answer our request for an interview either. But this was not only a tight race, it was a contentious one, With these mailers going out... Targeting Ceda's progressive credentials. There was a lot of establishment Democrats that supported the mayor, and I didn't seek their endorsement, especially as somebody who wanted to run as a progressive, community-driven people first, which means that I'm going to represent people from all parties. We're 12 votes ahead of the incumbent. Joe Alvarez, who ran on Ceda's ticket for city clerk, also took the lead on Monday night by a razor-thin margin in a county that is still counting votes and proving. Every vote counts. We met at a No Kings Rally, protesting what's going on with ICE. And since then, we've brought out more voters than the city's ever seen. And there's another tight race here in San Bernardino County. In fact, as of Monday night, only 63 votes separated two candidates for city council in the city of Grand Terrace. We did reach out to the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters to find out how many ballots are left to be counted here in Fontana and whether there might be a recount. We did not hear back. They have until December 3rd to certify the election. In Fontana, Christy Fajardo, Fox 11 News.
