The City Clerk race figured to be a tough one and it has developed into a fierce two-woman race between incumbent Vernell McDaniel and Satra Zurita. McDaniel, the current City Clerk, is looking up at Zurita in the hotly contested race.
As of 6 a.m. on March 6, Zurita holds a tenuous but firm lead over McDaniel. With less than 50 percent of the vote counted, Zurita, a member of the Compton School Board, has just a little more than 40 percent of the vote in the race.
McDaniel is coming on strong with nearly 32 percent (31.8) percent of the vote. A third person in the race, Lynn Boone, rounds out the top three candidates. As of now, Boone has picked up almost 28 percent (27.9) of the vote from the city’s populace.
McDaniel was appointed to the City Clerk position after Alita Godwin’s announced retirement in 2022.
