From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Monica Garcia soundly defeated other candidates in Tuesday’s special election for an open seat on the Los Angeles Board of Education, but did not earn enough votes to win the race outright.
Because she did not receive more than half of the votes cast, Garcia, 37, will face second-place finisher Christopher Arellano, 33, in a June runoff.
In an election marked by very light turnout, Garcia finished with 47% of the votes, and Arellano with 19%.
