Mark Armstrong winning San Ramon mayor seat while District 1 race too close to call
Armstrong, a former FEMA official and U.S. Army colonel, was running away with the mayoral race Tuesday night with 72.45% of the vote (15,220), with challenger and tech entrepreneur Chirag Kathrani receiving 27.55 of the vote (15,220 votes).
Armstrong would officially replace Hudson, who is retiring from the council after 27 years. Armstrong filled in for Hudson when the mayor had a stroke in 2023.
In San Ramon's District 1 race, Robert Jweinat was just edging out Vasanth Shetty in a tight race, 50.67% to 49.33%, though the race was too close to call as of Tuesday night. Both are vying for longtime councilmember Scott Perkins' seat, after Perkins stepped down after five terms.
District 3 City Councilmember Sridhar Verose is running unopposed this year.
