In the race for city attorney, finance law attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto was leading civil rights attorney Faisal Gill. Feldstein Soto also said tamping down corruption would be a priority if she was elected to the city attorney’s office, which was raided by the FBI in 2019. Feldstein Soto has suggested she would bring more scrutiny to no-bid contracts and the “misspending of public funds.” The winners of Tuesday’s races will be part of the biggest turnover at City Hall in nearly a decade, with voters ushering in not only a new city attorney and city controller, but a new mayor and a handful of new council members.
