It’s the end of one era and the beginning of a new one in Santa Ana, California, where the city elected its first new mayor since 1994.
Councilmember Vicente Sarmiento is set to replace Mayor Miguel Pulido, who served 13 terms before reaching his term limit. Sarmiento, who has served on the council since 2007, had 33 percent of the vote as of Nov. 6. The runner-up, Claudia Alvarez, had 22 percent.
