LOS ALTOS HILLS — It’s a slogan that gets repeated over and over during an election — every vote counts! — but for Lisa Schmidt it has a much more personal meaning.

The Los Altos Hills resident and now newly elected councilwoman threw her hat in the ring for a shot at three open seats on the council and found herself in a tight race. As of Monday, Schmidt appears to have won by a single vote against her opponent Facebook software engineer Jay Sutaria and will serve a two-year term.
