Three seats on the Board of Supervisors have already drawn an assortment of candidates. A similar scenario is shaping up in San Bernardino County where a former Congresswoman has resurfaced to challenge an incumbent county supervisor. At the municipal level, two ballot measures concerning marijuana dispensaries will be decided June 5th. A special election is being held in Adelanto to fill a city council seat left vacant by the departure of the former mayor pro Tem. Candidates have until March 9th to file their nomination papers.
