Change ahead for Paso Robles City Hall as voters weigh mayor, city council races

Change is coming to Paso Robles City Hall. Mayor John Hamon is not seeking another term, leaving three candidates competing to replace him, while two sitting councilmembers are hoping to keep their seats. All of this means that voters could reshape the city’s leadership this November. The three candidates vying to fill the city’s top seat are Bill Britton, Dr. Faith Frankel, and Chris Rogalla. “I feel like all the experiences I’ve had, all the things I’ve done, really are what we need in Paso Robles to help us kind of adjust, get ready for the future, listen to people and take care of what we’re doing and focus in on just Paso Robles,” said Paso Robles mayoral candidate Bill Britton. Britton, 70, comes to the race with a background in both the military and technology. He served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and was assigned in California four different times.

Beware the ‘red mirage’ if California Republicans have an election night lead

By Ryan Sabalow, CalMatters This story was originally published by CalMatters. Sign up for their newsletters. It happens in close races in almost every major election. Early California returns show Republicans winning or at least faring better than expected. Then, as votes are counted over the following days, the tallies shift in Democrats’ favor. This “blue shift” or “red mirage” isn’t a result of California Democrats “finding votes” or rigging elections, as President Donald Trump and his supporters have repeatedly claimed. Trump and his allies in the federal government are already laying the groundwork for questioning the election results as they embark on an unprecedented attack on California’s elections, setting up what could be a showdown over the fundamentals of American democracy. Experts urge you not to be fooled by their claims of “rigged” elections based on early returns.
