8:05 p.m. The first update of the night shows Rosa Reynoza out to a strong lead, with 2,709 votes, nearly double that of her two closest challengers, Jeffrey Leasure and Oscar Chavez who are tied with 1,000 votes each. Julia Donoho is close behind with 919 and Cody Wilson trails with 110.
On Tuesday, May 4, Windsor residents are headed to the polls for a special election to select one new Windsor town council member. The special election is being held to fill a vacant town council seat that belonged to Dominic Foppoli, who was elected at-large mayor in the 2020 election, as part of the town’s transition to district elections.
Since his seat is an at-large seat and not a district seat until 2022, any qualified local is eligible to run. However, in 2022, the seat will only be open to a qualified member of districts 1, 2 or 4, the three districts that will be up for vote then.Â
Oscar Chavez, Julia Donoho, Jeffrey Leasure, Rosa Reynoza and Cody Wilson are the five names in contention for the seat. The election is being held entirely by mail.Â
The first posting of vote tallies is expected around 8 p.m. Because it is a vote by mail, it could potentially be several days before the final numbers are tallied, as ballots could be turned in until 8 p.m. on May 4.Â
