Mayor Sanchez does not request recount in close race
It is official. Scott Matas will be the next mayor of Desert Hot Springs.
The Riverside County Registrar Rebecca Spencer has confirmed that Mayor Adam Sanchez did not request a recount of the November 4th election by Monday’s 5:00 p.m deadline. Sanchez lost that election by only 63 votes, and told us that he had told us over the weekend that he had not made up his mind if he would file or not.
Matas who serves on the Council now, will be sworn in as mayor next month. His win also secures a spot on the council for 3rd place winner Yvonne Parks.
