LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The county's district attorney will have a challenger in this year's election and another candidate has joined the race to succeed District 3 Supervisor Denise Rushing.

That was the latest on Friday from the Lake County Registrar of Voters Office, which reported that, for offices in which the incumbent has already filed to run again, the deadline to submit nomination papers was Friday.

For offices in which the incumbent hasn't filed, there is an extension until March 12, election officials reported.

On Friday, attorney Andre Ross completed the necessary paperwork to run against District Attorney Don Anderson, the Registrar of Voters Office reported.

Election officials also reported that nine candidates are in the field for the District 3 supervisorial seat currently held by Rushing, who has decided not to seek a third term.

The candidates for District 3 include Craig Bach, John Brosnan, Jim Brown, Marvin Butler, Mark Currier, Nine Green, Herb Gura, Wilmer Lipscomb and Jim Steele, according to the Registrar of Voters Office.

Bach told Lake County News that he was planning to drop out of the race.

There were no changes in the makeup of the remaining races for county offices, with incumbent District 2 Supervisor Jeff Smith being challenged by two Clearlake City Council members, Joyce Overton and Jeri Spittler.

In the sheriff's race, Bob Chalk and Brian Martin are challenging incumbent Frank Rivero.

County Clerk-Auditor Cathy Saderlund and Treasurer-Tax Collector Barbara Ringen, both appointed incumbents, are running unopposed, according to election officials.

In other races for which the deadline is March 12 because of the incumbent not filing, Richard Ford, Sorhna Li Jordan and Logan Weiper are running to succeed Assessor-Recorder Doug Wacker, who indicated he will not seek reelection, as Lake County News has reported.

Brock Falkenberg so far is running unopposed to succeed Lake County Superintendent of Schools Wally Holbrook, who announced his retirement.
