Tamela Lopez elected Brentwood mayor; four council winners named
Summary
Brentwood's chief election judge announced that Tamela Lopez won the mayoral race with 279 votes and that Jerry Burgess, Juliette Hellrod, Glenn Harris and Juan Milan won council seats. Turnout was 505 in person with 25 absentee ballots; a ballot question also recorded 388 'yes' votes (subject not specified).
Jess Elliott Meyer, Brentwood's chief election judge, announced the results of the Brentwood municipal election and named the winners onstage.
"We have 505 people come out today to go in person, and we had 25 absentee ballots," Meyer said as she opened the results presentation. She then read the vote totals for each successful candidate: "Tamela Lopez is going to be our mayor with, 279 votes," followed by council winners Jerry Burgess with 295, Juliette Hellrod with 227, Glenn Harris with 360 and Juan Milan with 358.
The announcement included a tally for a ballot question: Meyer reported 388 "yes" votes but did not state the ballot question's subject during the public tally. Meyer thanked candidates and voters and closed the event by thanking those present for participating in the democratic process.
Why it matters: The results determine Brentwood's mayor and council composition for the coming term and reflect local turnout in a municipal election. The brief announcement provided vote totals and turnout but did not include additional context such as turnout percentage, spoiled ballots, or details about the ballot question.
What happened next: Meyer concluded the evening with appreciation for participants and volunteers and dismissed attendees. Any certification, recount, or official canvass procedures were not announced during the event and were not specified in the announcement.
