Baldwin Park Council: Ayala Leads Avila and Cardoza in Early Vote

BALDWIN PARK, Los Angeles County — November 2026. Baldwin Park City Council returns show Jean Ayala ahead of Alejandra Avila and Jeanette Cardoza.

What the reported vote shows

Jean Ayala has 6,387 candidate votes (38.78%), Alejandra Avila 5,704 (34.64%) and Jeanette Cardoza 4,377 (26.58%).

Why residents should pay attention

These figures are from one citywide council contest; candidate-vote shares do not by themselves establish the number of registered voters participating. The names should not be treated as confirmed officeholders before the county completes the official canvass. The city also held a separate Measure CR ballot question.

Latest available reporting status

These figures were displayed by NBC Los Angeles’s November 2026 election results tracker after the November 3 vote. Individual race tables do not provide an independently verified county-bulletin timestamp. They remain unofficial and are subject to additional valid vote-by-mail, provisional and conditional ballot counting. Los Angeles County’s certification, not the interim candidate rankings, establishes the legal outcome.
