On the evening of March 3, after months of back-to-back campaign events and debates, two of the six candidates running for Beverly Hills City Council were announced victorious: Lili Bosse and Dr. Julian Gold. With the majority of votes counted at press time, Bosse garnered 38.27 percent of the vote, with 3,281 ballots cast in her favor. Gold earned 28.16 percent of the vote, with 2,414 votes. Incumbents Bosse and Gold were both first elected in 2011 and re-elected in 2015. This election marks the start of their third terms on the council.
In addition to Bosse and Gold, four other candidates made a bid for the two open City Council seats: technologist Robin Rowe, Rabbi Sidney “Simcha” Green, Lori Greene Gordon, and write-in candidate Aimee Zeltzer. Bosse, Gold and Gordon held election night parties.
