“I am honored that the people of Lancaster have re-elected me to be their Councilmember,” Malhi said in a city news release. “I’m excited to once again serve this community with my fellow Councilmembers to support law enforcement, job growth, reduce homelessness, and continue to make this city a great place to live.”
“As a city, we’ve rallied together to help bring change and foster growth in the last few years, and I’m looking forward to keeping that momentum going in these next four years on the City Council,” Crist said in the news release.
Other candidates for Lancaster City Council included Leslie Underwood, who garnered 1,667 votes; Fran Sereseres, who received 546 votes; Shawn Cannon II, with 512 votes; King L. Moore II, with 461 votes; Kevin Baikie, with 337 votes; David Paul, with 174 votes; and Ayinde Frazier, with 144 votes.
Also on the Lancaster ballot was the Measure H initiative, which asked if the City Council should adopt an ordinance imposing an administrative fine for loitering or camping within 500 feet of sensitive use areas, such as schools, churches, daycares, parks, and libraries. The measure appeared to be passing, with 4,551 ‘Yes’ votes, to 1,307 ‘No’ votes.

James Carter says
Tax increase supporter Crist still gets re-elected after supporting local tax increases and it shows how the local Republicans are hypocrites. This guy attacks others for doing the same thing and yet the bully gets away with it. The party that only needs to support Trump. Sad

Crist lost my vote over the out of control crime rate. He want you to think it’s not so bad but I understand Lancaster has the worst in LA County.
Mr. Safety is asleep at the wheel and will run out of excuses after citing the homeless.
