It appears that a major overhaul is coming for the Shasta County Board of Supervisors. The recall of Kevin Crye from District One leads by 53% to 47%. In District 4, Matt Plummer has a comfortable lead of 61% over Patrick Jones with 39%. In the District 3 race, Mary Rickert shows 44%, so she’s unlikely to take the race outright but will face a runoff in November with either Corkey Harmon or Win Carpenter, who are currently neck-and-neck with around 28% each. Harmon has about a half percent lead. In the crowded District 2 race there are four candidates, but Allen Long may avoid a runoff anyway as he currently has 55% of the vote, followed by Laura Hobbs with 17%, Dan Sloan with 16% and Susanne Baremore with 12%.
Shasta County’s two ballot measure are both on a path to victory, though one of them is still in question. Measure C would limit county supervisors to two terms and it shows an overwhelming 76% support. Measure D would change Shasta County from a common law government and would instead adopt a charter for more local control. The yes votes for measure D are showing 53%.
The District One State Assembly race will have the top two vote getters advance to November. Heather Hadwick leads with 36%, followed by Tenessa Audette with 31%, Mark Mezzano with 24% and Melissa Hunt with 9%.
The District One State Senate race is inconsequential because the top two advance to November and there are only two candidates. Still, Megan Dahle can feel confident in the coming race after taking 77% over David Fennell’s 23%.
The District One House of Representatives shows incumbent Doug LaMalfa with 64%. He’ll likely face Rose Penelope Yee in November. She has 24% over Mike Doran’s 12%.
The very crowded U.S. Senate contest, with more than two dozen candidates, will come down to a runoff in November between Democrat Adam Schiff, who has 33% and Republican Steve Garvey, who has 32%.
