Kennedy Jr. to Trump’s inner circle of advisers, public health interventions with rigorous scientific backing — whether fluoridating public water supplies or inoculating children — could come under fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s victory will give a far broader platform to skeptics and critics of federal health programs and actions.

Kate Harrison, who quit the City Council in January after blasting Berkeley’s decision-making process as “broken,” was third with 23.3%. Two other candidates followed with just over 1% of the vote each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After running the ranked choice system’s automatic runoff, Harrison and the others were eliminated, and Hahn led Ishii by 53% to 47%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday, both Ishii and Hahn acknowledged that the current results reflect only about 30% of the votes likely cast in the race, based on past Berkeley elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, Hahn said in an emailed statement she was “very optimistic this margin will hold — and possibly increase.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ishii said in an interview that she’s optimistic that her campaign’s year of effort will be rewarded with a victory in the race. “Honestly, I’m just so proud of our team that we’ve put in so much work over this last year and knocked on over 20,000 doors,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Tuesday’s ballot were four City Council races:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>In District 2,\u003c/strong> southwest Berkeley, incumbent Terry Taplin holds a 70% to 30% advantage over challenger Jenny Guarino, a UC Berkeley union organizer and grad student at the Goldman School of Public Policy.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>In District 3,\u003c/strong> South Berkeley, incumbent Ben Bartlett leads with 53% of first-choice votes over two opponents: Deborah Matthews, a longtime community activist, and Chip Moore, who has served on several city bodies, including the Planning Commission and Police Accountability Board.

As a sex crime prosecutor, I’ve spoken with many of these survivors. They are heroic,” Boyarsky said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many have lived with the pain and suffering inflicted upon them for decades, often wondering, ‘Is there anyone they can talk to? Is there anyone that will listen to them? Will anyone understand?’ We understand, and we care. We understand perfectly why they keep the violent crimes against them secret. We understand the incredible courage, the strength that it takes to finally come forward,” Boyarsky added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Matt Mahan said he and the entire city council are “absolutely horrified” at the allegations against Torres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These allegations are every parent’s worst nightmare. But you don’t have to be a parent to be sickened by the charges against Omar Torres, which are some of the most serious charges imaginable,” Mahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He credited the police department for its investigation of the prior allegations against Torres and said he believes the alleged victim in the current case felt comfortable to come forward because of the diligent work by investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have full faith in our police department and the district attorney’s office to get to the bottom of this case and ensure that Omar Torres is held accountable if proven guilty,” Mahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres — who had been under mounting pressure to resign while being investigated on the prior allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor — submitted a letter of resignation to the city late Tuesday afternoon, and police arrested him the same day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More South Bay News' tag='south-bay']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear if Torres knew he would be arrested Tuesday. His resignation letter, addressed to his council colleagues and constituents, was received by the city clerk’s office around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a copy obtained by this news organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my position as Councilmember, effective Nov. 27, 2024. This choice comes with a heavy heart, but I believe it is in the best interest of my constituents and my community,” Torres wrote in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Serving the people of San José has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Together, we have shared victories, tackled challenges, and strived for a more resilient community. I am humbled by the trust you placed in me and forever inspired by the passion and resilience of our district,” Torres wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres’ attorney, Nelson McElmurry, and Torres’ chief of staff, Kiara Arreola, both did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan, in an interview on Tuesday night, said it was “past time” for Torres to resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m glad that his final decision as a councilmember was the right one, which was to resign for the sake of the community,” Mahan said. “And it’s time for us to move forward and ensure that the residents of District 3 have representation that they can trust, that they have faith in, and that is going to be able to come to work every day and focus on their needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District 7 Councilmember Bien Doan shared a similar sentiment on Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about time,” Doan said of Torres’ resignation. “It’s about time that he allows the community to heal. It’s about time he allows trust and integrity to go back to city hall. It’s about time in his life to do the right thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan said he hoped to see a special election held to fill the District 3 seat so that candidates can face scrutiny from the public and the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before his arrest and resignation on Tuesday, Torres had not been formally charged with a crime and denied any wrongdoing consistently, as allegations surfaced in early October and later that month as more details were revealed in a police affidavit supporting a search warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that affidavit, police said they were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009671/san-jose-mayor-and-council-call-on-councilmember-omar-torres-to-resign-amid-sexual-misconduct-allegations\">investigating Torres\u003c/a> on suspicion of oral copulation of a minor and abnormal interest in children, a felony and a misdemeanor, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police first started looking into claims from Torres that he was being extorted by a 21-year-old man from Chicago, Terry Beeks, with whom Torres had an online sexual relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the investigation seemed to turn to focus on Torres after police found texts from Torres to Beeks in 2022 describing the genitalia of an 11-year-old boy and writing that he had performed oral sex on a 17-year-old boy while working at a college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another text exchange with Beeks about having a sexual encounter, according to the affidavit, Torres asked, “U got any homies under 18.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElmurry, Torres’ attorney, did not deny the authenticity of the texts but previously characterized the conversations as “outrageous fantasy and role play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear if the charges Torres was arrested for on Tuesday are directly connected to the details revealed in the affidavit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres has been absent from public view since the investigation into him was first revealed. He missed meetings of the city council, committees and other regional boards and commissions he serves on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of his council colleagues, including Mahan, have called for him to resign and later voted to strip Torres of his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12010529/san-jose-council-could-limit-omar-torres-power-amid-sexual-misconduct-investigation\">committee and commission assignments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of residents and business owners in Torres’ district, including Mahan’s deputy chief of staff Matthew Quevedo, pledged on Oct. 25 to begin a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011120/embattled-san-jose-council-member-faces-recall-push-amid-sex-crimes-investigation\">recall campaign\u003c/a> against Torres if he didn’t resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Juan Carlos Lara contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

His resignation letter, addressed to his council colleagues and constituents, was received by the city clerk’s office around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a copy obtained by this news organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my position as Councilmember, effective Nov. 27, 2024. This choice comes with a heavy heart, but I believe it is in the best interest of my constituents and my community,” Torres wrote in the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Serving the people of San José has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

It’s about time he allows trust and integrity to go back to city hall. It’s about time in his life to do the right thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan said he hoped to see a special election held to fill the District 3 seat so that candidates can face scrutiny from the public and the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before his arrest and resignation on Tuesday, Torres had not been formally charged with a crime and denied any wrongdoing consistently, as allegations surfaced in early October and later that month as more details were revealed in a police affidavit supporting a search warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that affidavit, police said they were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009671/san-jose-mayor-and-council-call-on-councilmember-omar-torres-to-resign-amid-sexual-misconduct-allegations\">investigating Torres\u003c/a> on suspicion of oral copulation of a minor and abnormal interest in children, a felony and a misdemeanor, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police first started looking into claims from Torres that he was being extorted by a 21-year-old man from Chicago, Terry Beeks, with whom Torres had an online sexual relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the investigation seemed to turn to focus on Torres after police found texts from Torres to Beeks in 2022 describing the genitalia of an 11-year-old boy and writing that he had performed oral sex on a 17-year-old boy while working at a college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another text exchange with Beeks about having a sexual encounter, according to the affidavit, Torres asked, “U got any homies under 18.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McElmurry, Torres’ attorney, did not deny the authenticity of the texts but previously characterized the conversations as “outrageous fantasy and role play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear if the charges Torres was arrested for on Tuesday are directly connected to the details revealed in the affidavit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Torres has been absent from public view since the investigation into him was first revealed. He missed meetings of the city council, committees and other regional boards and commissions he serves on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of his council colleagues, including Mahan, have called for him to resign and later voted to strip Torres of his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12010529/san-jose-council-could-limit-omar-torres-power-amid-sexual-misconduct-investigation\">committee and commission assignments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of residents and business owners in Torres’ district, including Mahan’s deputy chief of staff Matthew Quevedo, pledged on Oct. 25 to begin a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011120/embattled-san-jose-council-member-faces-recall-push-amid-sex-crimes-investigation\">recall campaign\u003c/a> against Torres if he didn’t resign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Valadao was one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

And it came nine months after Chevron and PBF gave up their attack on new refinery pollution controls, leading to a settlement with the companies worth tens of millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCune said he earned the win and that the oil industry super PAC had no big influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started campaigning somewhat early. I started walking streets and knocking on doors in August, and I managed to walk every street in the district by Election Day. I put out yard signs six weeks before any other candidate,” McCune said in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think of myself as the most centrist candidate in this race. I didn’t try to appeal to the extremes. I think that worked well in Belmont District 4,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt and McCune faced off against each other because Belmont recently transitioned from citywide, at-large elections to district contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, oil industry groups have poured money into elections in Richmond and Benicia, cities that are home to the Chevron and Valero refineries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt has pointed out that Belmont has no oil industry infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The super PAC involved in Belmont’s election is officially called the Committee for Jobs and the Economy, Sponsored by Energy Companies and Building Trades Unions Representing Working Men and Women. Its representatives and those for the oil companies funding it have not commented on why they spent money on flyers supporting McCune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Michelson, a political scientist at the Peninsula’s Menlo College, said McCune’s win is another example of the power of outside spending unleashed by the Supreme Court’s 2010 \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained\">Citizens United decision\u003c/a>. That 5–4 ruling opened the way for corporations and unions to give unlimited amounts of money to political committees active in election campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a down-ballot race during a presidential election, candidates for local office often have a challenging time breaking through the noise to get their message out to voters,” Michelson said. “An outside group with deep pockets can get their message out and influence vote choice. It’s not unique to this race. We saw it all over the country yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

And it came nine months after Chevron and PBF gave up their attack on new refinery pollution controls, leading to a settlement with the companies worth tens of millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCune said he earned the win and that the oil industry super PAC had no big influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started campaigning somewhat early. I started walking streets and knocking on doors in August, and I managed to walk every street in the district by Election Day. I put out yard signs six weeks before any other candidate,” McCune said in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think of myself as the most centrist candidate in this race. I didn’t try to appeal to the extremes. I think that worked well in Belmont District 4,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt and McCune faced off against each other because Belmont recently transitioned from citywide, at-large elections to district contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, oil industry groups have poured money into elections in Richmond and Benicia, cities that are home to the Chevron and Valero refineries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurt has pointed out that Belmont has no oil industry infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The super PAC involved in Belmont’s election is officially called the Committee for Jobs and the Economy, Sponsored by Energy Companies and Building Trades Unions Representing Working Men and Women. Its representatives and those for the oil companies funding it have not commented on why they spent money on flyers supporting McCune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Michelson, a political scientist at the Peninsula’s Menlo College, said McCune’s win is another example of the power of outside spending unleashed by the Supreme Court’s 2010 \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained\">Citizens United decision\u003c/a>. That 5–4 ruling opened the way for corporations and unions to give unlimited amounts of money to political committees active in election campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a down-ballot race during a presidential election, candidates for local office often have a challenging time breaking through the noise to get their message out to voters,” Michelson said. “An outside group with deep pockets can get their message out and influence vote choice. It’s not unique to this race. We saw it all over the country yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
