Caroline Banuelos and Dianna McDonald are leading their respective races for Santa Rosa City Council. Banuelos, a trustee on the Santa Rosa Junior College board and longtime community leader, currently has more than 58 percent of the vote. She is on track to defeat Jeremy Newton, a military veteran and commercial airline pilot, in the race to represent District Five. In District Three, incumbent Dianna MacDonald appears to be well on her way to securing a four-year term. She is running against political newcomer Janice Karrman.
Council members Eddie Alvarez and Natalie Rogers both won their council races running unopposed.
