Oceanside City Councilman Ryan Keim had a shrinking lead over incumbent Mayor Esther Sanchez in the latest results released Monday from the Nov. 5 election.

The new figures reduce his previous lead of 591 votes to a narrow margin of 239 votes. About 140,000 ballots remain to be counted countywide and the next update is expected at 6 p.m. Wednesday, according to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters.

Keim is a former Oceanside police officer appointed to a council vacancy in January 2019 and then elected to a four-year term in 2020. The mayor’s only opponent, he has been narrowly ahead since they announced the first results.

Sánchez, an attorney and former public defender, has been on the council since 2000 and was first elected mayor in 2020.

The Oceanside city treasurer election is also close.

The city’s current treasurer, Victor Roy, led his two opponents in early results, but fell to second place late last week.

Phyllis Dominguez, a small business owner and 22-year Oceanside resident, was ahead by nearly 800 votes in Monday’s results. Jack Fernandes remained in third place.

Roy and Fernandes have trouble spots in their history.

An independent investigation conducted for the city in 2022 showed that Roy had misbehaved at work, violated city policies, and used library computers to view inappropriate material. Fernandes publicly acknowledged a DUI arrest before the election, and a police report showed he was involved in an apparently unrelated “road rage” incident in La Jolla.

Dominguez promised to restore confidence in the office, in response to questions from the San Diego Union-Tribune before the election.

“Due to a history of controversy in this office,” Dominguez said, “the incoming city treasurer will need to restore the credibility of the office and rebuild the necessary relationships with the other departments to become an effective steward of taxpayer dollars and of your reliable finances. advisor to the Municipal Council.”

Two Oceanside City Council races are unchanged with additional results.

Jimmy Figueroa, a local nonprofit leader, is ahead of the closest other candidate, Laura Bassett, for the District 3 seat now held by Keim. Other candidates in that district are Tom DeMooy and Austin Sorensen.

In District 4, incumbent Peter Weiss leads by more than 20 percentage points over his two opponents, Omar Hashimi and Amber Kae Niuatoa.

Nearly 70 percent of Oceanside voters supported approving an additional 10 years for Measure
