Fligor declares victory, Kumar concedes [View all]
Assistant Santa Clara County Assessor Neysa Fligor early today declared victory in her bid to be elected county assessor. Fligor’s victory announcement shortly after midnight coincided with a concession statement by her runoff election rival, former Saratoga Councilmember Rishi Kumar.
“Thank you so much to everyone who voted and who helped with this campaign,” Fligor said in a social media post to her supporters. “Your support means so much to me and my team. I look forward to being your next Santa Clara County Assessor!”
“We lost,” said Kumar on social media shortly before Fligor’s post. “The people of Santa Clara County have spoken, and I respect the outcome. I have conveyed my congratulations to Neysa on a solid victory.”
Fligor’s initial margin proved insurmountable, likely exceeding the total number of votes that remain to be counted in the low-turnout race.
