Elections

Voting locally impacts your day-to-day. Read up on what local districts are facing and how board and trustee candidates want to approach things.

Two IVGID trustee seats, one incumbent. We asked David Noble, Harry Swenson, and Ryan “RB” Brooks about the lost transit services, utilities versus recreation, and the $1,375 facility fee.

From a decades-old tax allocation fight to a new headquarters station and a regional training facility, Truckee Fire board candidates tell us how they’d keep fiscal discipline during a pivotal stretch for the district.

Two TDPUD seats, three candidates. We asked incumbents Christa Finn and Tony Laliotis as well as newcomer Chris Hawkins about water rates, wildfire resilience, and the cost of local clean power.

Measure P asks TTUSD voters to raise the school parcel tax from $148 to $188 a year. Supporters call it a game changer; critics question the timing.

While two other TTUSD trustees are running unopposed, Pat Mooney faces student parent and business owner Craig Shaffer. They weigh in on teacher pay, school-choice lotteries, and AI in the classroom.

With issues like the $85 million Tahoe Cedars rebuild and the future of its community center, TCPUD incumbents John Pang and Gail Scoville face challenger Matthew Plunkett.

A new California law protects candidates’ personal information, but it also changes who appears on voter rolls — and how journalists and voters can reach those candidates.

With the Meeks Bay absorption complete and an Olympic Valley annexation on the table, North Tahoe Fire’s board race pits three incumbents against two challengers, and we asked each how the district can grow without stretching service thin.
