The Bakersfield City School District held a special election Tuesday to fill the Board of Trustees Area 3 vacant seat.
Unofficial results project Ralph Anthony as the winner with 32 percent of the vote and all 22 precincts reporting.
The seat was vacated last year after trustee Raymond Gonzalez announced his resignation.
Voters within the district have four candidates to choose from -- Edgar Aguilasocho, who is an attorney for the United Farm Workers; Ralph Anthony, who is a retired pastor; Vicki Billington an elementary school daycare manager; and Rupert Gregorio who is a financial advisor.
