I'm watching a judicial race very closely.
Long story, but if my favored candidate loses, I won't have a civil court judge closer than 60 miles away.

I'm up waiting to see the outcome of a new payroll tax on businesses to fund expanded bus service. Hoping it does NOT pass.

I saw your post, Swamp, on my FB feed. You asked us to like your page when you first branched out.
I think that's a bummer and hope your community/city votes for it.
We don't have any elections going on that I know of. We do have a few inquiries going on as to legislators' behavior, though.

The most exciting election here is for school board. Not worth waiting up for the results.

No real races here, either. Every race but one was incumbents running unopposed. The lone exception was where the incumbent decided to retire after 8 terms. I got 4 phone calls for that race yesterday, half of them from party pols in another county entirely.  They were up in arms about the SAFE Act; not sure what the county clerk can do about that one. |

Our local election was only for a seat on the CC. I didn't even bother to vote  because I haven't been involved with the CC other than paying for bonds. 
I have been following SF's Short term vacation rental measure. Things like that tend to spill through the region. Heavily backed by Air B&B they outspent the opposition by 16 to 1!
I have mixed feelings about vacation rentals (and our cabin is in vacation rental service). They can be a real hassle for the neighbors especially with parking and trash if management doesn't stay on top of it.
But I did agree with the "No on F" camp in that the City needs to work with the newly passed short term rental guidelines and if they don't work out revise accordingly.
ETA: The measure failed with 55% against and 45% for. |

No election within my town.
The only one I even heard about was for the Boston City Council, but that's 20 miles east and a whole 'nother world.
