The seat was up for grabs after Councilmember Larry Carr announced he was retiring. The race was expected to be tight from the beginning, partly due to its high-profile candidates. Vang, a Sacramento City School Board trustee, worked with district staff to tackle the education emergency stemming from COVID-19. Simmons, a senior pastor at South Sacramento Christian Center, turned his church into a free COVID-19 testing site and hosted food drives for those in need.
