U.S. House California District 7<\/p>\n
The race to represent Sacramento in Congress pits candidates separated by 40 years of age against each other in a contest centered on generational divides and immigration.<\/p>\n
Rep. Doris Matsui, with about 32.1% of the early results in Sacramento, El Dorado and San Joaquin counties<\/a>, leads Mai Vang, who has 24.9% of the vote. Republican Zachariah Wooden trails with 23.3% of votes. <\/p>\n Matsui, 81 and a member of Congress since 2005, faces the stiffest competition from her challenger<\/a> Vang, a 41-year-old Sacramento City Council member. Vang leveraged backlash on federal immigration policy and Matsui\u2019s two decades in Congress in positioning herself as an anti-establishment alternative for voters.<\/p>\n Others on the ballot to represent the state\u2019s 7th Congressional District include Democrats Robby Morin and Enayat Nazhat, and Republicans Ralph Nwobi and Zachariah Wooden.<\/p>\n U.S. House California District 6<\/p>\n Rep. Kevin Kiley is narrowly leading the crowded field of candidates competing for the newly-drawn<\/a> 6th Congressional District. <\/p>\n Kiley took 25.6% of the vote announced in early returns Tuesday night, leading Democrat Richard Pan and Republican Michael Stansfield. Pan, with 22.4% of the vote, gained led Stansfield by less than a percentage point. <\/p>\n Sacramento District Attorney Thien Ho, West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero<\/a>, Lauren Babb Tomlinson and Tyler Vandenburg, all Democrats, are also in the running.<\/p>\n The district\u2019s current congressman, Ami Berra, chose to run for another seat after the shifting district lines approved through Proposition 50 recast the congressional makeup of the Sacramento area. That made a less-blue district that enticed Kiley, who changed from Republican to independent, to try changing districts, too.<\/p>\n Sacramento County supervisor \u2014 District 1<\/p>\n Flojaune Cofer leads Eric Guerra in the contest for a seat on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cofer, who narrowly lost the race for mayor to Kevin McCarty in 2024, faces Guerra, a City Council member since 2015, to claim the seat being vacated by longtime supervisor Phil Serna<\/a>. Serna endorsed Guerra when announcing he would not seek a fifth term.<\/p>\n With nearly 38% of the vote in early returns, Cofer led Guerra by seven percentage points. <\/p>\n Deborah Ortiz, a Los Rios Community College District board member and former state lawmaker, ranked third, followed by Tim Riley, a South Natomas programmer.<\/p>\n Sacramento County Office of Education board<\/p>\n The two terms up for grabs on the Sacramento County Office of Education board<\/a> begin July 1, thrusting the winners into a contentious set of ongoing school issues.<\/p>\n Anna Molander Hermann, with 35% of the vote, led Dominique Donette (33%) and Davon Thomas (22%) as of early returns Tuesday night. <\/p>\n Incumbent Paul Keefer leads Annie Fischer, 53% to 47%, in the race for the other board seat.<\/p>\n The Sacramento City Teachers Association backed Fischer and Thomas with six-figure support<\/a>. Meanwhile, charter school advocates pumped funds into campaigns for Keefer, an incumbent, and Donette.<\/p>\n The board will soon choose a new county superintendent for the first time in more than 20 years, which could have meaningful ramifications for the future of the cash-strapped Sacramento City Unified School District.<\/p>\n Village Farms \u2014 Measure V in Davis<\/p>\n Early returns showed more than half of the ballots counted in Davis opposed<\/a> Measure V, which would allow the Village Farms development to advance. <\/p>\n A simple majority of voters is needed to decide whether a new housing development will move forward in Davis, where similar projects have historically faced hurdles.<\/p>\n Measure V, which would green-light the proposed 1,800 residential units <\/a>west of the Wildhorse neighborhood, sparked active campaigns for and against the development plans.<\/p>\n Those pushing against the ballot measure raise concerns about environmental effects, traffic issues and its proximity to the old Davis landfill. Supporters of the development cite the need for housing in Davis and the boost it could provide to school enrollment.<\/p>\n Yolo County Board of Supervisors \u2014 District 3<\/p>\n Dotty Pritchard, who has worked for supervisors in the district office for 20 years, was leading the race for a seat on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors<\/a> as of early returns Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Pritchard, with 43% of the vote, led Mayra Vega\u2018s 33% share and Xochitl Rodriguez, who notched 23% of the early vote.<\/p>\n The District 3 term, currently held by Mary Vixie Sandy, lasts four years.<\/p>\n California governor<\/p>\n
