With 100% of precincts reporting, a transparent picture of election results emerged Wednesday afternoon.
Measure J, the West Hills College District bond measure, lacked the votes needed to pass.
“No” votes totaled 2,889 (52.66%) percent with 100% of precincts reporting while “Yes” votes totaled 2,597 (47.34%). The measure needed a 55% supermajority to pass.
West Hills College Lemoore Chancellor Kristin Clark was disillusioned within the consequence, she said Wednesday.
“We have now a state bond where nearly all of the project that we would like to construct, the cash’s coming from the state but there’s an identical requirement,” Clark said. “About 75% of the budget for the brand new instructional constructing comes from the state and the opposite part is a match. We were only asking the taxpayers for that match, we weren’t going out for anything greater than that because we’re sensitive to asking our taxpayers to contribute.”
Passage would have authorized the West Hills Community College District to issue $8.6 million in bonds with that bond revenue going to fund recent classrooms and labs requiring an estimated property tax levy of $9.35 per $100,000 in assessed value.
The measure would raise $727,000 annually through 2039, in accordance with the bill. The brand new classrooms and labs would offer profession training in computer sciences, health sciences, nursing and paramedics, and would qualify for State matching funds.
Now the school district is tasked with finding other avenues to acquire the matching funds for the project or risk losing the State’s matching funds. Clark said the district will likely be available loans, because the project could be slated to start construction in 2023.
California’s 22nd Congressional District
With 31% of votes counted as of two:35 a.m. Tuesday, Congressman David Valadao led challenger Assemblymember Rudy Salas by eight percentage points, in accordance with the Recent York Times.
Valadao totaled 23,034 votes (54%) while Salas totaled 19,648 (46%). Valadao led because of stronger showings in Tulare and Kings counties, while Salas led barely within the more populous Kern county. Valadao led in his home county of Kings with 5,169 (57.26%) votes while Salas totaled 3,859 (42.74%) shortly before midnight Tuesday night.
“We all the time knew this race was going to be tight. I’m optimistic about our start, but we still have a protracted option to go,” Valadao said via email Wednesday afternoon.
The Valadao campaign stated that leading in Tulare and Kings counties while running a more in-depth race in Kern County was consistent with their expectations for the election.
Only about 31% of the votes from Kern, Kings and Tulare counties had been accounted for by essentially the most recent updates from the varied boards of election.
“While we patiently wait for each vote to be counted, I need to thank everyone who poured their heart into this campaign and joined me in fighting for a greater Central Valley. I’m humbled and thankful for all of your support as we await the ultimate election count,” Salas said via email Wednesday.
He added, “I’m proud that our campaign kept its promise to give attention to improving the lives of Central Valley working families. Our supporters voted for representation that prioritizes kitchen table issues – lowering costs, higher wages, secure communities, and keeping big government intrusion out of our personal lives. Those issues have been the North Star for our campaign.
- Measure K, which might have supported recent facilities at Kings River-Hardwick Elementary School District was shot down with 426 (60.94%) voters saying “No,” versus the 273 (39.05%) saying “Yes.” The $4 million in bonds would pay for educational facilities stemming from an estimated property tax levy of $30 per $100,000 in assessed value.
- Lemoore City Councilmembers Frank Gornick and Stuart Lyons will remain on Council, having each run unopposed.
- Alvarado Preciado and Pablo Hernandez have been re-elected to Avenal City Council.
