The Contra Costa County Elections Office released updated results Tuesday afternoon from the November 8 elections they continue to count votes leaving many races in suspense.
In Antioch, challenger Sean Wright (34.78%) has maintained his election night lead in the Mayor’s race against incumbent Wade Harper (34.21%).
