June Primary races are shaping up for Plumas positions
The June 7 Primary is exactly four months from today, and races for seven countywide positions and two supervisorial districts will be on the ballot.
The in-lieu filing period is underway. Elected officials and supervisorial candidates can file petitions for signatures in-lieu of filing fees. These petitions serve to lower the cost of filing for candidacy, and to demonstrate support for the candidate.
The following local offices will be on the June 7 Primary ballot. If an individual has picked up in-lieu filing fee packets, it is so noted.
- County Supervisor District 3 (Chester/Lake Almanor): Tom McGowan

Of note, current Auditor-Controller Roberta Allen has resigned her position to serve in Sierra County so there is no incumbent, and the current County Superintendent of Schools Terry Oestreich is retiring at the end of this school year.
