After a week of counting ballots, Los Angeles County has reported few changes in the Beverly Hills City Council race.

Councilman Lester Friedman continues to lead the pack with 2,877 votes (19.03%), with Public Works Commissioner Sharona Nazarian (2,677 votes, 17.71%) and Councilman John Mirisch (2,125 votes, 14.06%) taking second and third, respectively.

The race for the third council seat is still close. Mirisch leads Councilman Robert Wunderlich by 91 votes and Planning Commission Chair Andy Licht by 146.

“[I’m] feeling optimistic, but it ain’t over,” Mirisch said.

Friedman said he was grateful for the support he received during his campaign.

“As we get closer to the final count from the county registrar’s office, the results appear to be favorable in terms of my returning for a second term on the Beverly Hills City Council,” he said. “It has been gratifying to work with my colleagues the past five years, and assuming the counts remain as is, I look forward to the next four years.”

Just in Case BH founder Vera Markowitz received 10.14% of the vote, but trails Licht by more than 400 votes. Attorney Darian Bojeaux received 4.43%; small business owner Shiva Gordon Bagheri garnered 2.61%; financial firm owner Kevin Kugley, 2.07%; real estate professional Akshat “AB” Bhatia, 1.72%; and company senior manager Robin Rowe, 1.7%.

City treasurer Howard Fisher (63.04%) still holds a commanding lead over challengers Jake Manaster (28.27%) and Gabrielle Pantera-Rowe (8.69%).

Beverly Hills voters also supported Measure TL, which would limit elected officials to three terms. Nearly 82% of the ballots cast were in favor of the measure.

City clerk Huma Ahmed said L.A. County does not currently provide statistics on how many precincts have reported, and that she won’t know all the details of the election until county officials send her a certification.
