Joshua Macculloch and Jennifer Boddie lead the race for two seats on the Rio Linda/Elverta Community Water District board, with incumbent Vicky A. Young trailing in preliminary returns from Tuesday’s election.
Macculloch has 1,058 votes, just 17 ahead of Boddie’s 1,041. Young has 664 votes, followed by Nevaeh Moore with 285. Eight write-in votes were reported.
Boddie holds a 377-vote advantage over Young for the second available seat. Voters could choose up to two candidates.
All 11 precincts have partially reported, but that does not mean counting is complete. Neither seat should be considered decided.
Ashby holds substantial lead
In Senate District 8, Angelique Ashby leads Susan A. Mason with 102,052 votes, or 72.39%, to Mason’s 38,917, or 27.61%, in Sacramento County’s returns.
In Assembly District 6, Maggy Krell leads Jagtar Singh with 57,923 votes to 11,503. These figures reflect county returns, not separate Rio Linda or Elverta tallies.
Nearby school and park races
In Center Joint Unified, Natasha C. Thao leads Kelly Cathrine Kelley 341–148 in Trustee Area 1. Nancy Anderson leads Steven J. Bruno 361–185 in Area 4.
Center Joint Unified’s Measure E has 2,323 yes votes, or 66.77%, and 1,156 no votes in Sacramento County’s unofficial returns. The measure would authorize $197 million in bonds for school repairs, safety improvements and classroom upgrades, repaid through property taxes estimated at $60 annually per $100,000 of assessed value. It requires 55% approval.
For two North Highlands Recreation and Park District seats, Patrick B. Williams leads with 2,257 votes, followed by Joanna McVay with 2,052 and Sukdip “Steve” Chima with 1,201.
Local park seats uncontested
The county lists three qualified candidates for three Rio Linda-Elverta Recreation and Park District seats: Lisa L. Burnham-Morris, Troy Golden and Deanna Read. That contest did not appear on the ballot.
Counting continues
These results remain unofficial. The county report is dated 1:25 a.m. Nov. 4. The next scheduled update is Friday, Nov. 6, by 4:15 p.m.
