All Yuma County ballots have been counted for the 2024 election. Here’s who won

We may have moved on from the long and stressful 2024 election, but some local candidates in Yuma County have been waiting for the past two weeks while county election officials counted outstanding ballots.

On Tuesday evening, county officials announced that all counts had been completed. Final numbers are now available for local races, including city councils in Yuma and San Luis and Arizona State House and Senate in Legislative District 23.

For the Yuma City Council, Mark Martinez finished with 52.52 percent of the vote, while Martin Garcia got 47.48 percent.

In San Luis, three city council seats were up for grabs with six candidates. The top three candidates were Luis Cabrera, the only incumbent with 19.67 percent of the vote, Esteban Rosales, at 25, the youngest candidate and son of outgoing councilor Matias Rosales, with 19.65 percent, and Lizeth Servin , the only female candidate in the race with 18.25 percent.

In the Arizona House race in LD 23, which for some reason stretches from South Yuma County east to Gila Bend to western Maricopa County (Buckeye and Goodyear) and also includes part of Pima County (because why not?) , the two incumbents won out of the three candidates. Democrat Mariana Sandoval received 33.63 percent. Republican Michele Pena who took 34.16 percent.

In the LD 23 Senate race, incumbent Democratic Sen. Brian Fernandez won re-election with 53.8 percent of the vote over Republican Michelle Altherr, who got 46.2 percent.
