San Jose Vice Mayor Magdalenca Carrasco got her wish Tuesday night: avoiding the runoff.

California’s long-awaited primary comes Tuesday, which means it’s down to the wire for a number of hotly contested South Bay races.

Magdalena Carrasco’s critics contend that she lives outside her own district, and one went so far as to hire a private eye to try to prove it.

The deadline to jump in the San Jose mayor’s race closed Friday with no realistic challengers for Sam Liccardo.

Incumbents in the San Jose mayoral and council races reported significant fundraising leads, according to campaign filings posted this week.
