The races for three seats on the San Miguel Community Services District (CSD) board remain close, with two candidates overtaking early leaders as additional ballots were counted. According to the Nov. 10 vote tallies, John McClure maintained his lead in the five-candidate race for two four-year seats, while Andrew Havard moved into second place, narrowly surpassing John Butler II. McClure leads with 141 votes, or 25.5 percent, followed by Havard with 129 votes, or 23.3 percent, and Butler with 125 votes, or 22.6 percent. Incumbents Rod Smiley and Owen Davis trail with 90 and 67 votes, respectively. The latest count marks a change from election night, when McClure and Butler held the top two positions. Just four votes now separate Havard and Butler in the contest for the second seat. A similarly close race is unfolding for the remaining two years of a vacant board seat.
