Incumbents enjoyed wide leads in all three contested races for seats on the Pasadena City College Board of Trustees in early results on Tuesday night.

Former Pasadena Mayor William Thomson, seeking his second term on the board, outpaced political activis M.A.C. Enriquez-Marquez 85% to 15% in early returns. Longtime PCC board members Jeanette Mann and ;John Martin enjoyed roughly 2-1 leads over their respective rivals, Altadena conservative Brian Fuller and Los Angeles City College instructor Chris Cofer.

The figures were the latest posted by the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters office as of 10:30 p.m., with between 5% and 13% of precincts reporting.

If elected, Mann, representing north and east Pasadena as well as Altadena, will serve her eighth four-year term on the board. Martin, representing El Monte and part of Temple City, has been on the board for 32 years and will serve his ninth term.

Martin said his main goals in recent times have been to add class offerings at the school, advance the Pathways program that allows students to register for blocks of classes and to provide curriculum geared for in-district high school students coming into the college.
