Peter Aldana Leads Riverside County Assessor Race
Incumbent Peter Aldana holds a significant lead over challenger Jared McBride with 135,594 votes to 68,972 in the early election results. As only two candidates are running, the winner will likely be decided this June without a November runoff if they maintain over 50% of the vote.
Incumbent Peter Aldana leads the race for Riverside County Assessor with 135,594 votes against challenger Jared McBride’s 68,972 votes. Results reported late evening on June 2 show the incumbent ahead in the first batches of election day ballots. Aldana seeks a fourth consecutive term in a race where a majority vote prevents a November runoff.
Aldana has held the office since 2014 and emphasized his internal rise through appraisal and management roles. He told The Desert Sun that his background provides a practical understanding of the law and staff operations. The office manages property assessments, marriage licenses, and vital records for the county.
