For the two-year Board of Supervisors seat, Democrat John Mack will face off against Republican businessman Gerry Couch in November.
Democrats Phil Calabro and Linda Bobrin were uncontested for the six-year Board of Supervisor term. It was not clear of as of early Wednesday morning if Republicans Jerry Festa and Laure Gensbauer received enough write-in votes to qualify for the November ballot. The two were removed earlier this spring for not filing paperwork correctly but did appear on signage along with Couch’s name.
