Five individuals are hoping to fill two open seats on the Fremont City Council and taking the lead are incumbent Suzanne Chan and candidate Vinnie Bacon.
With all 107 precincts reporting, Bacon has garnered 26 percent of the votes counted, while Chan has gained 23 percent of votes.
For Bacon, it appears third time was a charm. Bacon had unsuccessfully ran for Fremont City Council in 2008 and 2010.
This will be Chan's second four-year term on the council. She was first elected to her seat in 2008.
