Santee Mayoral Election Results: Minto Leads Houlahan

SANTEE, CA — Santee Mayor John Minto is leading in the race for another term as mayor, outpacing Councilman Stephen Houlahan.

As of Wednesday, Minto had 52.98 percent of the vote, while Houlahan had 47.02 percent, according to unofficial vote totals from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters.

Minto has been on the City Council since 2002 and was elected mayor in 2016. Houlahan, who lives in District 4, was first elected to the council in 2016.

It was unclear how many votes remained to be tallied, and with the prevalence of mail ballots in Tuesday's election, it could be days or weeks before final numbers are determined.

There are still 370,000 ballots left to be counted, County Registrar of Voters Michael Vu announced Wednesday, but the county will not release additional results until 5 p.m. Thursday.
