Santa Clara County voters to decide next assessor in Tuesday run-off election

A special run-off election will take place in Santa Clara County on Tuesday as voters decide who will be the next County Assessor.

Candidates Neysa Fligor, Los Altos vice mayor and current assistant assessor, and Rishi Kumar, Saratoga City Councilmember and tech executive, are on the ballot, neither of which garnered more than 50% of the vote in the Nov. 5 election, triggering a run-off.

The winner will replace Larry Stone, who stepped down in July and served as Santa Clara County assessor for 30 years.

Fligor received the most votes on Nov. 4, with 37.67% of the vote. Kumar received 24.01%.

He's appeared on our house tax assessment bills almost the whole time we've owned a house. It'll be weird to see someone else's name on the bill. I mailed in my vote for Kumar, who actually has experience as a tax assessor. The last thing we need is another "tech executive" in this important role.
