Yountville Council: McKee Holds Second Seat by 63 Votes as Counting Continues

YOUNTVILLE, NAPA COUNTY — Friday, November 6, 2026; latest county results as of 5:15 p.m. Pacific. Two seats on the Yountville Town Council are being filled in the November 3 general election, and the second available seat remains a separate local contest from the town’s unusually close mayoral election. In the latest Napa County results, incumbent Hillery Bolt Trippe has 321 candidate selections (27.3%), incumbent Robin McKee has 308 (26.2%), and challenger Jill Turner has 245 (20.8%). McKee is currently ahead of Turner by 63 selections for the second place.

Five printed names and two seats

The additional reported candidates are Matthew Chrzanowski, with 230 selections, and Jessi Bugden, with 71. Those totals come from the county’s latest available candidate table. Because the election fills two seats and voters could choose two names, the shares are of candidate selections, not the percentage of unique voters casting ballots for the town council.

Why the margin matters

The first two positions currently belong to Trippe and McKee. The meaningful last-seat difference is McKee’s 63-selection margin over Turner, rather than the 13-selection gap between the two leaders. Additional eligible ballots may change these totals. A projected or preliminary lead must not be described as an officially certified seat.

Do not confuse the council election with mayor

Yountville also voted for mayor. In a separately updated mayoral race, Joe Tagliaboschi currently has 366 votes and incumbent Marjorie Mohler 362 — a four-vote margin. That result comes from a different single-seat contest and cannot be combined with town council selections. The town’s Measure Y spending-limit question is likewise a separate vote.

When will there be a final result?

Napa County continues its canvass, and no candidate is certified by this report. The Napa County results displayed by KQED list the council snapshot as November 6, 5:15 p.m. Pacific. Local residents can consult the county’s later release for any changes.
