The First District race is tight with current City Councilwoman Deidra Duhart holding a slim lead over Jasper Jackson. As of 6 a.m. on March 6, the day after the Presidential Primary Election took place, Duhart had captured 41.5 percent of the vote.
Jasper is giving Duhart a run for her money. As of Wednesday morning’s tally, Jackson was snipping at Duhart’s heels with just a shade more than 40 percent of the vote. The third person in the field, Fidel Marquez, holds up the rear with 18 percent of the district’s population voting for him.
Duhart was appointed as the city’s First District councilwoman in 2022. And just like in the race in District 4, more than half of the vote still needs to be counted. The election is scheduled to be certified on March 29.
