Election 2024 updates: Mayor Breed concedes to Lurie in SF mayor's race

In the East Bay, voters are currently in favor of recalling Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao.

In the East Bay, voters are currently in favor of recalling two of the highest-profile politicians.

Both the recalls of Alameda District Attorney Pamela Price and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao are leading 65% to 35%, with 100% of precincts reporting.

The latest count shows Price appears to be on the way out. She's been accused of being too soft on crime.

If Price is eventually recalled, the Board of Supervisors will appoint an interim DA who will serve until 2026.

In Oakland, Mayor Sheng Thao also appears to be losing her job. She has faced similar criticism as Price about her stance on crime and is under heat for the city's budget deficit and an FBI raid on her property.

San Francisco voters appear to be in favor of a plan to close the Upper Great Highway along Ocean Beach seven days a week, with preliminary results as of early Wednesday showing 52.92% in favor of Proposition K.

"Yes" votes lead in the race with 114,485 votes compared to 101,862 no votes.

The stretch of road with two lanes in each direction was already closed on weekends and holidays since a pilot program was implemented in 2022, following the road's closure during a COVID-19 shutdown. The pilot was set to expire at the end of 2025.

The Upper Great Highway runs along the coast from Sloat Boulevard to Lincoln Way. Vehicle traffic will be rerouted onto the Lower Great Highway parallel to the road.

The proposition was authored by District 7 Supervisor Myrna Melgar. One of her opponents, Matt Boschetto, started a political action committee to defeat the proposition.

Meanwhile, Melgar appears to have the edge in her reelection bid, leading 51.59% over Boschetto, who garnered 48.41% of the vote on the final round of ranked choice voting, according to the preliminary results in the race.

The California Coastal Commission will have to approve the permanent closure, which will still allow emergency vehicles and city Recreation and Park Department vehicles to access the road.

Lateefah Simon appears to be on her way to taking over Barbara Lee's District 12 Congressional seat.
