LAKEPORT, Calif. – The shape of the local races for three supervisorial seats in the June primary came one step closer to being finalized as one of the deadlines arrived, with another around the corner next week.
The supervisorial seats for Districts 1, 4 and 5 are up for election this year. The seats currently are represented by Jim Comstock, Anthony Farrington and Rob Brown, respectively.
On Friday the nomination period closed for any race in which the incumbent filed for reelection, according to Lake County Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley.
This year, the only race in which that is the case is District 5, Fridley said Friday evening.
Brown has filed to seek a fifth term, and he will be challenged this year by Philip Reimers of Cobb and John Wesley Stoddard of Kelseyville, Fridley said.
Because neither Comstock nor Farrington have filed to seek reelection, Fridley said the nomination period for their seats will be extended until 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 16.
In District 1, as of 5 p.m. Friday, the individuals who has filed all of the required paperwork and are officially candidates on the June 7 ballot were Voris Brumfield, Monica Rosenthal, Jim Ryan and Jose “Moke” Simon III, Fridley said.
In District 4, Fridley said that the candidates who have filed and will appear on the ballot as of Friday include Martin Scheel, Tina Scott and Ted Mandrones.
Until the end of day Wednesday, it's still possible that there could be changes in the composition of both of those races.
For more information about filing for elective office contact the Registrar of Voters office in person at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N Forbes St, Room 209, Lakeport, or by phone at 707-263-2372.
