Fligor declares victory, Kumar concedes

Assistant Santa Clara County Assessor Neysa Fligor early today declared victory in her bid to be elected county assessor. Fligor’s victory announcement shortly after midnight coincided with a concession statement by her runoff election rival, former Saratoga Councilmember Rishi Kumar.

“Thank you so much to everyone who voted and who helped with this campaign,” Fligor said in a social media post to her supporters. “Your support means so much to me and my team. I look forward to being your next Santa Clara County Assessor!”

“We lost,” said Kumar on social media shortly before Fligor’s post. “The people of Santa Clara County have spoken, and I respect the outcome. I have conveyed my congratulations to Neysa on a solid victory.”

Fligor’s initial margin proved insurmountable, likely exceeding the total number of votes that remain to be counted in the low-turnout race.
